Description ritz 2010-03-17 07:08:33 EDT

Created attachment 400717 [details]
patch based on upstream

Description of problem:
xwdtopnm produces incorrect ppm output for xwd dump of an rdesktop screen

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
netpbm-10.35.58.x

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to a Windows XP system using rdesktop:
rdesktop 192.168.1.100
2.Get an xwd dump of the rdesktop screen by running the following command and selecting the rdesktop screen with the mouse:
xwd -screen -frame > out.xwd
3. Convert the xwd dump to ppm format using xwdtopnm
xwdtopnm out.xwd > out.ppm
4. View both images:
display out.xwd
display out.ppm
  
Actual results:
out.ppm has incorrect colors

Expected results:
out.ppm show show the correct image

Additional info:

    * xwd, when run on the rdesktop window, generates a DirectColor image with 24bpp depth and BGR layout and MSB bit order.
    * The header on the xwd image however claims that the image has an RGB layout and LSB bit order., which leads the image colors to be read incorrectly by xwdtopnm
    * ImageMagick and Gimp read the image correctly, hence this is a bug in xwd which has been fixed upstream in netpbm 10.35.64 , thanks to Siddhesh for tracking this down, along with the patch
