The number of bitmaps is important, not the size. I have just tried to
compile a gtk version again and was surprised that the isometric mode
seems to work without gfx patches (except changing the supported gfx file
extension to png)! 
But it uses almost 90% of the gdi resources and civclient -t trident
does not work.
The trident tileset seems to have more tiles than the hires one.
So I have to patch the gfx stuff again.
