Environment:
* Debian unstable ("sid"):
  * libspreadsheet-writeexcel-perl 2.25-1

* Use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel to include it in an xls:
	test.pl
* Open with gnumeric:
	gnumeric earthlights.xls
  Results in
	** (gnumeric:32544): WARNING **: Unrecognized image file format
  and the file being opened with the placeholder image.
* Open with oocalc:
	oocalc earthlights.xls
  results in the file being opened and the image being displayed properly.

Comment 4 Jean Bréfort 2008-09-22 06:26:48 UTC 
The image is stored in dib format which seems to be not supported by gdk-pixbuf.

The problem here is that we are passing a dib to gdk pixbuf without adding a bmp header. I'm attaching a patch series which fixes this.
