The painter is intended to be GUI _dependant_ only the interface is
general. In particular the Pixmap functions is just for X systems
other systems can add their own image locading functions.

very well.

No, I agree. but it is nice to ave in mind were you want to end up.

More thatn that, Xlib can be used for anything X, we already use that
