hi.. I've just discovered this bug when I upgraded to KDE 3 (and spent ages installing every single KDE package, thinking I was missing the icons :-( ) Switching to 24 bit truecolor (instead of my default 32 bit truecolor) has fixed the problem. Using XVision on the 32 bit display meant that the pictures displayed OK (there are other bugs in XVision though!). I suspect that the fact that XVision doesn't offer 32 bit pixmaps is what makes the difference. xdpyinfo output for cygwin XFree86 on a 24 bit display: name of display: cleveland:0.0 version number: 11.0 vendor string: The XFree86 Project, Inc vendor release number: 40200000 XFree86 version: 4.2.0 maximum request size: 4194300 bytes motion buffer size: 256 bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 32, LSBFirst, 32 image byte order: LSBFirst number of supported pixmap formats: 7 supported pixmap formats: depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32 depth 4, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32 depth 8, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32 depth 15, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32 depth 16, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32 depth 24, bits_per_pixel 24, scanline_pad 32 depth 32, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32 keycode range: minimum 8, maximum 255 focus: window 0x1600017, revert to PointerRoot number of extensions: 22 BIG-REQUESTS DEC-XTRAP DOUBLE-BUFFER Extended-Visual-Information FontCache GLX LBX MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD RANDR RECORD RENDER SECURITY SGI-GLX SHAPE SYNC TOG-CUP XC-APPGROUP XC-MISC XFree86-Bigfont XKEYBOARD XTEST XVideo default screen number: 0 number of screens: 1 screen #0: dimensions: 1146x811 pixels (388x275 millimeters) resolution: 75x75 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 root window id: 0x36 depth of root window: 24 planes number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1 default colormap: 0x20 default number of colormap cells: 256 preallocated pixels: black 0, white 16777215 options: backing-store NO, save-unders NO largest cursor: 1146x811 current input event mask: 0xd84031 KeyPressMask EnterWindowMask LeaveWindowMask KeymapStateMask SubstructureNotifyMask SubstructureRedirectMask PropertyChangeMask ColormapChangeMask number of visuals: 2 default visual id: 0x22 visual: visual id: 0x22 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x23 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits xdpyinfo output for XVision on a 32 bit display: name of display: localhost:1.0 version number: 11.0 vendor string: Santa Cruz Operation Inc. vendor release number: 730 maximum request size: 4194300 bytes motion buffer size: 0 bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 8, MSBFirst, 16 image byte order: MSBFirst number of supported pixmap formats: 2 supported pixmap formats: depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 16 depth 24, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32 keycode range: minimum 8, maximum 140 focus: PointerRoot number of extensions: 10 BIG-REQUESTS DOUBLE-BUFFER GLX LBX MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD SCO(C)1996-VisionResumeExtension SHAPE SYNC XC-MISC XIE default screen number: 0 number of screens: 1 screen #0: dimensions: 1152x864 pixels (304x228 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch depths (2): 1, 24 root window id: 0x24 depth of root window: 24 planes number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1 default colormap: 0x22 default number of colormap cells: 256 preallocated pixels: black 0, white 16777215 options: backing-store YES, save-unders NO largest cursor: 32x32 current input event mask: 0x0 number of visuals: 2 default visual id: 0x20 visual: visual id: 0x20 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff, 0xff00, 0xff0000 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x21 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff, 0xff00, 0xff0000 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits Seeya, Adam -- Real Programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to read, and even harder to modify. These are all my own opinions.
