 BUGS!
 -----
   * Get Starters to work properly in 800x600 mode.
 
-  * When loading an image based on a Starter (either via Open or if it was
-    loaded automatically at startup), if the Starter has a bkgd. and the
-    image had been flipped at any point, the Starter background doesn't get
-    flipped (so Eraser doesn't work right).
-
   * Keep track of Mirror and Flip actions in Undo history, so that
     Starters can be un/re-flipped and un/re-mirrored, and "starter_mirrored"
     and "starter_flipped" flags can be toggled.
