 `If you have Imagemagick installed, you can make your icons meet
  requirements 1, 2, and 3 with the following command, but you will
  need to edit the icon afterwards to clean it up and make the
  background transparent:

       $ mogrify -format xpm -geometry 32x32 -map cmap.xpm <filenames>

I then use giftrans to make the background transparent.
