X11 doesn't speak any file-based format.  There are some formats  
which
are close to the wire protocol:  xbm for fonts, cursors, and depth-1
windows, and xpm for other bit depths.  But when it comes down to  
it, the
program has to read whatever format you give it and populate a  
Pixmap,
then blit that to the window.
Pretty close to what I expected. So, are there programs capable of
converting jpegs to pixmaps and saving to file? qiv doesn't seem to  
have
such option.
ImageMagick's convert, jpeg2pnm | ppmtoxpm, djpeg | ppmtoxpm for  
three off the top of my head.
