(mgp-users 00438) Re: transparent gifs

[Roger Whittaker <roger@suse-linux.co.uk>]

Yes - I had problems with gifs in mgp since moving to SuSE 7.0 too - I
don't know why and haven't asked anyone in SuSE yet ... - I actually use
jpg normally for graphics.

If as another mail in this thread said png works, then I'll change to
that.

I hope everyone will tell everyone they know about mgp - I think its
absolutely brilliant: I find it's not very well known in the community.
