to actually display an image as you cannot draw an image directly on a window.

+When in 8-bit mode (PseudoColour mode), the GTK port will use a color cube created
on program start-up to look up colors. This ensures a very fast conversion, but
the image quality won't be perfect (and could be better for photo images using more
sophisticated dithering algorithms).
