Sure, just added this to Godzilla :-)
(But the other problem with the ugly grey background still remains...)

I found that the imagepixmapid is always (at least in my tests here)

(imported or referenced) is broken or not even an image...

Anyway, if it is a valid image, it will always be a positive number!
Very useful, indeed :-)
