      On my badly broken Linux desktop, the Gimp is missing its
      file-saving plug-ins, so it cannot save files except in a format
      I cannot use.  XPaint does not exist, for some reason.  The
      venerable bitmap program does work, but can only
      produce X11 bitmap files (which are black and white only).  How
      then to produce colour icons for my Picky Picky Game mock-ups?
