Nothing but xdm uses the chooser, and no user runs it directly,
so why should it be in a general bin directory? (It's really a libexec
sort of thing for those who make such a distinction.)

$(datadir)/share/pixmaps makes more sense than putting them in the include
directory - they were put in ${XDMLIBDIR} because they are pixmaps for the
use of xdm, not general use icons that other programs were expected to include
like the xbms in includedir/X11/bitmaps.
