Yeah, I did something like that.  I flattened the image (in gimp), thus
removing the transparent portion, but isn't it more of a workaround?  The
transparent part is to tell the rendering application that it should put
the background color there.  I will have to take a look at smiley.el for
that.  Maybe after tomorrow's exam.
