Users, ( i state as users not as expert of usability) just are used to see graphic sw open with a image windows...i don't thing they will appreciate a special image windows with sliders or peculiar setting.
They will appreciate something trivial as gimp opening with a image windows, inside simply a new image,color white, type RGBA, of a default size (something as 600x600 should fit, aside to the toolbox in most of computer screen ,included little as 800x600)
That and , for the first time only, a dialog popped up prompting
1 to accept that size
or
1 to reset that default size as from users wish
OR
3 instead then a blank image start with the last image opened
And a short info at end of dialog....if the user want change again that default, he may do from Toolbox/preference.
That in my opinion and experience as users will solve at best
Honestly i can't image any advantage, or anything useful, or even "funny" in that proposed additional Transparency slider .
On the contrary i see a related usability problem, if something as that will be done:
Users will think that the slider effect may is also rendered in the saved image
More if they will forget to reset the slider, they will be easy misleaded.by a effect that is visible, but will be never rendered, (if not by a screenshoot)
