no. I have that planned for sometime in the future. Currently I'm a bit
busy to do that. I have a pile fo things I'd liek to do... this is one
of them.

->  way seems to be to load a file using

->  gdk_imlib uses it's own internal

yes. cerate an imlib image from data - just have that data all blank
and then play wiht the 24bpp data in the imlib image. The tutorial
should make that clear.

->  Any help appreciated.
