ah i forgot: wouldn't it be even greater, if the objects wouldn't be so
restrictive with the size of the image?

proposal: add a header to the shm-segment where some basic information
(xsize,ysize,colorspace,...) is stored; this way, the [pix_share_read]
would only need to know the shm_id (and this could even be made settable
at run-time)
[pix_share_write] would need to know the maximum size of the image to
allocate the memory.
