Greetings,

I'm trying to use MagicPoint with opaque PNG images, but very often it
displays the leftmost third of the image three times as wide, with every third
column from the image itself and the others from the background.

Then with transparent images- PNG or GIF- I do not get the problem above, but
sometimes it works beautifully and other times it doesn't.  When it doesn't
work, it fills the background with some color in the current slide, either the
foreground or part of the background that's not near the current position of
the image.

Also, sometimes MagicPoint thinks white is transparent, when it's supposed to
be opaque.

If you like, I can put a tar.gz of a talk which fails in all of these ways on
the web.

Thanks,
