if XGraphics is going to disappear, i'm fine with keeping these
functions here, although personally i personally i prefer small modules
and would create Bitmap one which would include the future functions in
X11 (we don't need to mimic the module structure there for just one
function) and also the Bitmap cache stuff (which i guess will make the
module a bit more juicy).

But that's not critical: if you'd rather leave the module structure as
it is now, i'm fine.  We can always revisit the issue when the XGraphics
module goes away and/or XUtil is modified again.
