I have not seen this with any other images.
Testing under Windows would not be of much help on my machine, since 
that OS runs on virtual hardware. Windows XP video is done on a VMware 
virtual SVGA adapter (and is then presumably sent as a pixmap or 
something to be put up in a X display), whereas my Linux video is on a 
GeForce card which is only about 2.5 years old. If this was a hardware 
issue, I think I would be noticing problems elsewhere....

I see. It did seem that the display boxes were rather larger than the 
32x32 images being displayed in them. Since this is the case, shouldn't 
the "View" menu display sizes be listed as "44x48", "24x26", etc...?

OK. Fair enough. However, the image that I did this with was one of the 
44x44 heroes from 'fantasy.imf'. Shouldn't the other images have been 
aligned precisely over it, since it is terrain-sized?
