Aha, but no, it does not work, I mean now xemacs is in image mode, but
still the jpg file is not displayed such as.
image-mode relies upon having been called via format-alist (e.g. use
of buffer-file-format); it can't operate as a "normal" mode.
I have a version of image-mode.el which I hacked to work as a normal
mode. Should I send it to xemacs-patches? Or elsewhere?
