As I believe that one answer here involves using an XImage, I have a
related question.

An XImage is not a drawable, but it sure would be nice to be able to
use Xlib-like drawing routines on an XImage.  For example, it would
be nice to be able to draw lines, arcs, polygons, filled polygons,
and so forth, and to do other operations on XImages.  Does such a
library exist?  (Then again, maybe I missed something obvious...)
