Guess it came out a bit confused, then.

This was a bug. It's intended to work without all the bloatware. And I
hope the fix I just put in CVS does it. Have a go. (Thanks to Asger
Alstrup Nielsen for pointing at the problem with a clue-by-four.)

I don't read gnome-list, but I'm still fed up with Rasterman:) The only
thing that imlib has going for it is caching of images, which you could say
should be the applications responsibility. gdk-pixbuf has proper alpha
handling, which is way cool! Now if only PostScript would support alpha...
I'll let dia have both gdk-pixbuf and imlib for now, so people just need
one or the other. Yay for choice!
