Well...  I'm using a lot of modes with (small) images in them, and `C-n'
has mostly taken me to the next line.  There's been some corner cases if
point was actually on an image, but it's mostly worked.

Great, now `C-n' reliably takes me to the next line; thanks.

Yeah, `C-p' in buffers with images has had a tendency to do random
things.  :-)  But it now seems to work perfectly.

However, there's a new (well, different) tiny problem with `C-n' now.
In the test buffer, go to the first line and press `C-n' until point is
at the last line in the buffer.  Press `C-n' again.  Point goes to the
next line, but the buffer is only scrolled up two lines instead of the
more natural four (perhaps).  `C-p' the other way does this the expected
way.

Nit-picking.  :-)
