	I suppose that this is not a bug, but that X.Org is translating the image to 
a bitmap, thus growing itself in size. I made this test:

	I had this JPEG image:

-rw-------  1 ender ender  132873 sep  7 11:49 orbes.jpg

	Then converted with Gimp to a bitmap, and:

-rw-r--r--  1 ender ender 2359350 sep  7 11:51 orbes.bmp
-rw-------  1 ender ender  132873 sep  7 11:49 orbes.jpg

	It was a 1024x768 image. It resulted between 2 and 3 MB.

	Could anybody from debian-x confirm my suspicions that this is normal 
behavior before closing this bug?

	Best regards,


		Ender.
