Graphics files in archives cannot be toggled to display image or code

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

In dired-mode a graphics file can be viewed. Instantly one either  
sees the code or the image, C-c C-c toggles the view between code and  
image, as often as one wants without failures. PNG, TIFF, GIF, XPM,  
XBM files from a (compressed) tape archive (tar file) when toggled  
from code view to image view show only a frame of the image's  
dimensions, but not the image inside it. The code view is OK.

Viewing GIF and TIFF files in a ZIP archive I only get the frame  
(although it instantly should display the image), viewing a JPG file  
I instantly get the code presented. Pressing C-c C-c I see in mini- 
buffer: "Repeat this command to go back to displaying the file as  
text" without any change. Again the code view is OK.

Looking into the *Messages* buffer I see:

Cannot find image file `/Volumes/Halde/_neu/x-symbol-4.51-src.tar.gz! 
x-symbol/etc/RIP.xbm' [2 times]
Cannot find image file `/Volumes/Halde/_neu/ 
texshopsource.zip:texshopsource/DrawerToggleToolbarImage.tiff' [2 times]


This also happens so in GNU Emacs 23.0.0. Launching both with -Q  
makes no difference.
