In fact, the version of XPM2 I have (and I *think* I've applied
all of the patches) does exactly this, and worse yet, doesn't
handle the case of StaticGray.  I made some hacky patches, does
anyone know if any real ones have been made?  I suspect it doesn't
support anything greater than 8 planes either, but I don't really
know.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
