I know, a proposed PicturePath was renamed to ImagePath.

This option requires a file (in one or another image format, that is
searched in ImagePath) and should be named accourdingly IMHO.

Strictly speaking an xbm bitmap is not pixmap, it requires 2 colors as
parameters to be a pixmap.

Png image is not strictly speaking a pixmap as well, it contains more
information like alpha blending that is actually used in colorsets.

These are my reasons to rename "Pixmap file" to "Image file" in colorsets.
