 I only got around to updating the client man page right now to actually mention
png images.

 The option to run the client with png images is '-png'.  The server needs to be
new enough to support png images.  Also, you need the png library - I am
assuming you grabbed it from the CVS repository - if you are using the last
0.95.6, you need the imlib setup.

 No - crossedit will likely get redone - designing with xpm images vs png should
not make any differences, so it may just be more efficient when it is rewritten
to just png and nothing else to keep the design a little simpler.
