What does it seem to do?

I should note that the `background color' it blends with is either the
background color specified in the PNG file [I'm not sure the proper PNG
terminology for this, but the code looks like:

        png_get_bKGD (png_ptr, info_ptr, &image_bg);

] or, if that's not specified, the background color of the frame.
