It looks like XpmReadFileToPixmap is producing a pixmap with the wrong
depth, which is being rejected by XSetClipMask.  It works for me if I
change the call to this:

        XpmAttributes attr;
        attr.depth = 1;
        attr.valuemask = XpmDepth;
        if (XpmReadFileToPixmap(mainwindow->display, mainwindow->window,
                                "skullmask.xpm", &skullImage.clipmask,
                                &maskshade, &attr)) {
            printf ("Error reading file (XpmReadFileToPixmap)\n");
            exit (1);
        }
