Ho!
I see your point.
I will check on Monday with one of the programmers if he knows a  
"trick" to work around this. I remember debating about this issue for  
hours a few hears back with the programmers. I can only remember that  
they had "a canon size good reason" to do what they did with the bg  
and the alpha channel. I will get back to you on Monday.
Ciao,
