Can you resize the window (make it smaller than the image)?

I have that one too on my system, but Tk::PNG seems to be linked to a
different one: /usr/lib/libpng, namely to
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.5:

ldd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i586-linux-thread-multi/auto/Tk/PNG/PNG.so
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libpng.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 (0x40006000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40034000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40045000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40067000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

Anyway, I tried to link libpng.so.3 to libpng12.so.0.1.2.5, ldconfig and run
the test again - same result.

Maybe we use different versions of Tk::PNG or Tk?
My are 4.003 and 804.027:
$ perl -M'Tk::PNG 1000' 
Tk::PNG version 1000 required--this is only version 4.003.
$ perl -M'Tk 1000'
Tk version 1000 required--this is only version 804.027.

I can reproduce it on SuSE 9.1 and RH9 boxes.
Cheers,
