Also a question about the option. Should it be enabled or disabled by default? Would a user expect bitmap images to be exceptions in outline mode or would they expect them to be red squares with an X inside by default?
By default, images in outline mode should be rendered as red boxes with "X". Outline mode is intended to show the structure of the document and be as fast as possible.
Further note: the new method redrawDesktop() is incorrect, and this actually shouldn't cause a redraw. It only works because the relevant function is buggy and causes unnecessary updates. The correct way to do this is to call update() on Inkscape::Drawing with reset = STATE_ALL, and then call requestRedraw() on SPCanvas with an infinite rectangle.
