I think I did understand what you did change with your patch on NSImage.
What I never did understand is all the flipping of images, whereever
they are drawn. And it still is not that clear to me, if we need that
fixup. What I can see is that NSBrowserCell does it wrong. At least for
the xlib backend. But as there is no difference in the code (apart from 
using the wrong composite operator) for this class, all the cells should 
be doing it wrong as well. But why is the problem only visible in the 
Browser?
