I also made a 64x64 trasperent pixmap, to test this and here it worked. I
use 1.5beta4 with Sasha's Pager and a jpeg background. I can see the
background behind the wharf and behind the folders. But since I use a i486 
it took too much CPU. The animation is that slow that it becomes
unuseable. But it works.
