I am running at 32bpp on one machine, and I think 24bpp on another. They
both have this problem.

I would be happy to wait for 1.1.x, if it was sure to work properly. But
if it still uses the same libraries (Xforms, libXpm, ... ) then I don't
know if the problem will just go away. I am guessing the problem may be
coming from some more subtle inter-play between these libraries, and maybe
even X, Xlib.
Does anybody know whether the newer rewrite of this code is available for
testing? (In cvs?)
