Just a tip. I find editing small xpm images best with mtpaint. It's much lighter than Gimp and when you zoom the image you get a grid with individual pixels that makes it easy if you don't use gradients.
If you use gradients it must be easy too as long as you know how to work with mtpaint for that :-p
Of course for very small images you can create a gradient pixel by pixel.
