I have an image (splash logo for the upcoming Emacs 21) that I'm trying to save as an 24-bit xpm with transparency that is not saving as expected. I'm running gimp 1.0.0 on sparc-sun-solaris. I start with my xcf (RGB-layered) image, then use script-fu to generate a drop-shadow for the image; then I merge visible layers and and I save as xpm (alpha=1.0) and I get...well, not what I expect, given what the original looks like. The xcf image is at http://www.ee.ryerson.ca/~elf/emacs/splash3.xcf The (buggy) xpm image is at http://www.ee.ryerson.ca/~elf/emacs/splash3.xpm Gimp 1.2.1 running under Linux *mumble* gives slightly different results, again, not what is expected. I have verification from the gimp-users list that this is indeed a bug for gimp 1.0.0 on sparc-sun-solaris.
