Ouch, that hurts, losing your work like that. :(

Do you mean from patch 7? I added a third option as a feature, so the
maximum colors to be assigned to the loaded pixmap cuold be specified.
This allows MaxColors (which is normally only used for gradients) to have
an impact on loaded jpegs. I couldn't find a way to force maxcolors on
xpm, but we still use the option: if maxcolors is less than 256, we tell
libxpm to force some colors to desktop ones (this is not new, I admit).

Hm? Animate and AnimateMain work fine for me, in fact I normally have
animation off, as it's too slow on my machine with shaped windows.

Okay.

They weren't in pre7, I checked when I updated them.

I haven't tried it yet, but I need to, because I don't want to make changes
to pager that are incompatible with that patch.

See next email.

Thanks Guylhem! I'll see what I can do getting everything merged. If I
can get libjpeg testing to work, I'll send the result to David Mihm and
let him test it.
