Where Flap the Patents of the King, Pixels Unrendered Must Die Unseen

In keeping with the theme of this journal, I decided to update the picture. Some of you may recognize the icon associated with this post :).

Strangely it did not work until I uploaded an LZW-compressed GIF. It didn't work as either a PNG output from Gimp, from pngcrush, from convert or from sodipodi, nor a JPG from convert or gimp. I suppose you have to mix the evil of the Sign itself with the evil of the Unisys patent

That's strange. I have both jpeg and png user images, all made with GIMP (though some may have been subsequently crushed).

My "glyph" image worked just fine as a PNG from gimp, a JPG from gimp, etc. etc. It seems to be a problem only with the other one.
