We've been going around this bush with David since 2001 without much
progress. We have added a fairly extensive tutorial example and
somewhat reorganized the docs to no avail for him, although others
have commented on the improvement.
If you want to help David specifically, the best bet is to implement
the GNU image API, and be prepared for preview-latex, AUCTeX, and
x-symbol to find all the places where the emulation doesn't match the
originals. This would probably make XEmacs somewhat more popular with
all of the applications that use images.
