In connection with this, not only `shell-command-to-string' but
also `shell-command-on-region' uses shell which is specified by
the user option `shell-file-name'.

Documentation:
*File name to load inferior shells from.
Initialized from the SHELL environment variable.

The value of this is "/usr/local/bin/tcsh" in my environment.
Because of this, the function `gnus-convert-gray-x-face-to-xpm'
doesn't work for me and I couldn't see gray X-Faces. :-(

(shell-command-on-region START END "pnmnoraw 2>/dev/null" ...)
 => pnmnoraw: 2 - No such file or directory

It seems that we'd better use `call-process' rather than
shell-command-* functions.
