There is another known problem with the BMP images: black/white imagaes
are not supported and give a 'red box'.

And another problem: BMP's can not been moved in horizontal direction.
So it is impossible to view the right side of them.
Since Arachne does not support .jpg directly and converts them, default,
into .bmp the righ side of a .jpg cann't be viewed either.

A solution to this problem is making Arachne converting .jpg to .gif.
Gif images can be moved.

The same problem with viewing PDF-files using GHOSTSCRIPT which can not
convert to .gif but does convert to .bmp. The right side of .pdf can not
be viewed either.
