 I would like to display an image/pixmap on an X display
 other than that which the AVS kernel is using.  I (and
 the Module Generator) wrote a simple module that takes
 a pixmap input and a display name typein.  It doesn't
 work.  The remote window appears but as soon as the
 code attempts a XGetImage the module takes a BadMatch X11
 error and dies.  Probing a little further I discovered
 that any attempt to treat the pixmap field of the AVSpixdata
 structure as the id of a Drawable kills the module...
 (The other fields of AVSpixdata are just fine.)

 Suggestions appreciated.

 Thanks,
 Peter
