That is because 1.14.1 still uses XPM as the native format. This was
changed in CVS HEAD to PNG as native format. Now all clients use PNG.

By the way, you should definitely use CVS HEAD instead of 1.14. The latter
is just a maintainance branch in CVS, while the former is where all
development happens. The two branches are sufficiently different that you
risk wasting a lot of time and effort if you make patches for 1.14.
