I think it would be fine to use a switch in the pd-gui.tcl script to chose xpm with IRIX/SGI in the platform init procedure, which is what I did (just replacing gif with xpm in the script). We already install 3 flavors of Pd icons (gif, ico, xpm) with this distribution, and IRIX natively uses xpm (which will not change anymore). Any updates that allow gif as WM icons would not be natively available on IRIX, and it seems too restrictive to expect the user to patch their system for this. Given that xpm is expected as the native format by the window manager, I am not aware of an image format check for this on Irix. If you think this is too much hassle or not generalized enough I can look for a better solution (IRIX has tools to convert image formats, I'm just not sure without checking what comes with the plain vanilla system installation).
