Re: GIMP GIF-PNG transparency woes
You may want to see http://www.burnallgifs.org http://www.iconoclast.net/burngifs/ For more info about this. In a nutshell, only a very few browsers support transparent PNG's. Netscape for Linux doesn't support them at all. This is very disconcerting and it's why I couldn't change my sites over. ESR had an absolute fit at me over the VA Linux site and Don Marti just kinda growled. If you can alter your design to get around using transparencies, it would be great! Try making your image background color match your bgcolor. But that's not the problem you are having. Your problem is due to the fact that GIMP requires you to convert to RGB before it will save a PNG. I believe that later versions of CVS GIMP have fixed this. Good Luck!

Re: opening GIF
Well, I'm not sure what the current specifics with all your libraries are but with the recent difficulties with gifs, many free software packages no longer support the gif file format. For more info, see http://www.burnallgifs.org/ . Libraries such as the gdlib are no longer available because of the Unysis patent issue. That means that if you didn't already have this library, you wont be able to get it now and that may cause you to be unable to save gifs. I don't know if that's the specific cause of your problem but you may see if you can find a copy of gdlib and install it (or check to make sure you don't already have it installed).
