I know IE doesn't support PNG (which is what the FAQ entry is about), but if I create a transparent GIF with the Gimp, I get a transparent GIF (albeit with much worse-looking text) than if I do it with Inkscape. It's been a while since I looked at image formats in detail, but if it is simply a matter of massaging the color of the "background" pixels in the GIF, is there a tool that can do this? I changed the document properties from #ffffff00 to #00000000 wondering if that may make a difference, but it doesn't.
If you know the background colour, gifsicle will fix it for you. (http://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle/) The MS-Windows binary is not as current as the Un*x ones, but will still do the job you need.
Could you add this info to the FAQ in wiki, in case others run into the same issue?
Thanks, Bryce
