Note that insert-sliced-image will give you gaps with a
line-spacing>1. You don't have to override the line-spacing for the
whole buffer, though; you can set the line-height text property on the
newlines in the sliced-image area instead (I've written a small function
for this; see http://www.randomsample.de/dru5/node/24).
