  I got hit by this too. Upon looking at the source code for the grabber
program, I decided that this was intentional, even though it wasn't
mentioned anywhere in the documentation (*poke* Shawn). You have to align
all your images on 16-pixel boundries. The reason, I think, is that it is
easier to line things up in the paint program than it would be in the
grabber program.
  Just move all your images to 16-pixel boundries, or better yet draw them
that way in the first place. If you ever need to make touch-ups to your
graphics, the current way will end up being a lot less hassle.
