Sure do.  The distributed version of twm appears to ignore PSize
requests, opting for max_width and max_height instead.  This is kind
of annoying with very large images, especially since xloadimage tries
to limit itself to 90% or so of the display.  Resizing the image will
re-enable scrolling, or switching to a different window manager (awm
works fine, or used to work when I used it).

>PS:  Does anyone have a version of "xloadimage" that works with 24 bitplanes?

Not that I know of, although the -view option should work if the
server has a PseudoColor or StaticColor visual.  Never tested.
