- Two problems: GIFs look their best at 256 colors. Multiview uses the WB
- to display pictures, so unless you have your WB set to 256 colors, you
- don't get to see them in glorious technicolor.

- Second problem. Its slow, slow, slow, even on a 4000. ViewTek is fast
- and does a nice job on most formats.
