There's no Save As . . . option for .gif in the gimp. Is there some proprietary format issue?
Yes: The LZW patent. If you want .gif support, apt-get install gimp-nonfree.
IE sucks. It can't handle transparent png's. It is really a pity that the "Valid HTML" button from w3.org can not be displayed correctly. I'm suffering from this, too as I am to design the website for our department at university, and I hate HATE internet explorer.I saved as a png and that worked perfectly!!! It displays properly in Galeon. But from IE on WinDoze box, I still get the white background. What's up with that?
