Hi,

looks like a trick, but works...

patch might be outdated, but the idea is here.

This is an ugly hack.  I think a better approach is to switch over to using the WebKit image decoders entirely rather than creating a fake BMP.  That approach seems to be making progress, so I'm closing this bug.  Free free to re-open if that effort stalls.
