OK, except for two things: 1) JPG doesn't support transparency, and 2) I did not get the same behavior using Scribus 1.2.1 (using the original png image). Does 1.2.1 do something, or not do something, that 1.3.0 does? -- Fail to learn history-repeat it. Fail to learn rights-lose them. Learn both-get screwed by previous two groups.
