Please _never_ use JPEG for icons and stuff. JPEG is only good for 
photographs. You can use BMP, that is lossless. Or just load 
Graphics-Files-Additional.pck.st

I would have liked to have PNG in the kernel, but it uses Compression. 
Maybe JPEG should be moved to the external package too. BMP is dog 
simple, and is enough for a very basic kernel.
