Incidentally, an easy way to create one is to use ImageMagick to crop the
PNG. Last I checked, it stores the oFFs chunk, which when opening the image
in GIMP, causes the layer to be offset.
The issue at hand is that if you open the image as a layer (rather than as
an image), the offset is ignored and the layer is centered. I would be
interested to know if you have a selection when you open the image as layer,
does it center the layer on the selection (it would be consistent with the
floating layer's behaviour.
