Re: Drawing 1-bit bitmaps

Arg!  Yes, I was careless when I wrote that, and got it horribly wrong, 
mixing up client-side vs. server-side and Gtk- vs. Gdk-.

GdkPixmap: server-side
GdkImage and GdkPixbuf: client-side
GtkImage: something completely different from GdkImage

I've never bothered with GdkImage myself.  I prefer to use GdkPixbuf 
instead.

Sorry about that.
