I think you should not modify the picture resource, but simply specify the
appropriate rectangle to DrawPicture.

If I had to guess at what was happening, I would say that the picture bytes
specify absolute coordinates and since the rectangle in the picture is the
same as that in the call to DrawPicture, Quickdraw would not offset the
coordinates when drawing the picture.
