I was looking, earlier, for a client that displays GIFs.
Well I have been using xv to display gifs, but if I want to
save a GIF in a bitmap format so I can put that picture in my root
window, xv only saves Black and White bitmaps. I thought it was 
possible to display color bitmaps in X. If so are there file
conversion utilities for GIF to bitmap, for color? Are there clients
that can do this?

I would appreciate responses directly to me instead of posting
to the news group. I don't read the newsgroup.                 

Thank you,
Rich
