In fact, if you use an image with minimal manipulation (that is if you
just use :file option and don't use tricky option such as gamma
correction), you better use the <Image> class. This class find the
type of the correct image so you don't have to bother if it is a
bitmap, a GIF file or a pixmap. Furthermore, when you use this class,
there is caching so that if you load at several places the same image
(for instance the bullets of an HTML page), all the instance will
share the same image internal representation.

Anyway, my code was incorrect because the pixmap extension don't use
the same conventions as the core Tk images. The following patch should
correct this problem.
