[Seaside] aRenderer imageWithForm: error

[tblanchard at mac.com]

Thanks,

Yes, I've dug into this  and I'm more puzzled than ever.
The form itself was a gif originally, and got added as an 8 bit 
ColorForm.
So there is no form conversion when rewriting it - so now I suspect 
that GIFReadWriter isn't exactly tops at writing.

Next thing to try is to write the thing back to a gif file and see if 
that's been uglified.  I suspect it will be.

Which will take Seaside completely out of the loop - I'll have to see 
if one of the grafix mavens on the squeak list
knows what the deal is.

Thanks again
