Well, it depends on what your procedure specifies as image types when it
registers. The documentation says:

  image_types is a comma separated list of image types, or actually
  drawable types, that this procedure can deal with. Wildcards are
  possible here, so you could say "RGB*" instead of "RGB, RGBA" or "*"
  for all image types. If the procedure doesn't need an image to run,
  use the empty string.

Grayscale layers only exist in grayscale images. If you specify "GRAY"
and/or "GRAYA" or "*", then your procedure needs to handle those
drawable types.
