Definitely; since it uses a pseudo X11 server, one could always  
extend the WMS plugin to read image data directly from that X11  
instance (something like executing a "xwd" and reading its output  
from a pipe). We would have to move the image manipulation currently  
done in the perl script into the Java code to avoid temporary files.

Bye
