Install xorg-x11-xbitmaps.  Any package that uses these bitmaps at
compile time should:

BuildRequires: xbitmaps-devel

Any package which requires them at runtime should instead have:

Requires: xbitmaps

By using these virtual provides, they should continue to work
correctly if the packages ever get renamed or aggregated in the
future.

Hope this helps.
