ideally because i'd like to open the new window to the exact size of the 
image file.  the images are all of varying sizes and i don't know them 
ahead of time.  although i suppose i could just measure them and build a 
database and do it that way.  seems like a drag.

the frustrating thing is that when it works it works really well and looks 
very nice.  i'm loathe to give it up.
