Subject: SMIL Problem: GIF & region Transparency don't work

Hi there,

For some time now I am having problems when using with transparency of
region and GIFS in SMIL.

First of all, transparent GIFS use White as background color instead of
nothing (thus showing the region background color underneath).
Second of all, a region should use transparent as default if its
background color is not defined instead is uses black.

Below is a smil presentation which shows both problems:

<smil>
  <head>
   <layout>
    <root-layout width="400" height="400" background-color="green"/>
    <region id="image_region1" left="0" top="0" width="300" height="300"/>
    <region id="image_region2" left="0" top="0" width="100" height="100"/>
   </layout>
  </head>
  <body>
     <par>
         <img src="50x50.gif"   region="image_region1" z-index="0"/>
         <img src="200x200.jpg" region="image_region2" z-index="1"/>
     </par>
  </body>
</smil>

If anyone knows something about these transparency bugs, or knows the fix
please let me know.
