  I guess you'll have to select XOR operation for drawing the ants in one
position. On the next step, you'll have to draw ants in the same position
using XOR operation again (thus restoring everything under the ants) and then
draw ants in new position using XOR operation, and so on. I'm not sure, but
there is a probability that this won't work for all types of Visuals. Seems
that's why gimp doesn't use this approach.
