This is a (long known) bug in DIB code not in animate.c
RLE (with gaps) must draw on top of existing bitmap
so this shall not be fixed here but in X11 DIB handling code

agreed (I just didn't want to create a specific thread just for that, but
since it's likely use of service thread will decay, it's a good point)
