According to my reading of the Xlib docs, it's legal (and preferable)
to just setup the XImage struct yourself rather than obtaining it from
XCreateImage. This way you have more control and you don't have to
worry about nasty issues of Xlib trying to free your buffer when you
destroy the image (because it never has to be destroyed).

Anyone else know about this and if it's correct? That's how I do it in
uuterm.
