This is not a bug in Savane but it is bug in Microsoft IE. These PNG files are
conform to the PNG specifications.
I'm clearly opposed the addition of such an ugly workaround inside Savane while
PNG specifications are freely available since years.
If Microsoft decided not to implement a proper PNG support, it is up to his
customers to ask for an explanation to them, or to stop using their tools.
It would be a different story if no Free Software browser was supporting PNG :
but only netscape 4 got troubles, and netscape 4 is dead since several years
now, while all the graphical browser I know have no problem at all.
Clearly, it is not to tools like Savane to handle proprietary software
limitations.
Not happy with the IE support of PNG? Send them a patch... oups, it does not
work that way. Well "changez de crêmerie" :)
This only shows how proprietary software is bad thing. Nothing else.
The only acceptable workaround is to set the background color inside the PNG.
I've done that in the past, I consider it as a waste of time and a nuisance for
developers.
