Description Leandro Martínez 2009-10-19 17:07:25 UTC 
transparent background appears black in empathy's personal information image

If one tries to set as personal information image, in empathy, an image with a transparent
background, instead of a transparent background one gets a black background.

Attached is a screenshot, in which I simply tried to put an icon as the image.

to reproduce it: open empathy, go to edit -> personal information, and choose as
the image some image with transparent background.

Works fine here. Are you sure you attached a PNG file with a transparent background?
Comment 2 Leandro Martínez 2009-10-20 18:23:31 UTC 
I'm sorry, it was not an "image with a transparent background". It was
a SVG graphic. To reproduce it try to put as image any icon from
/usr/share/icons

Sorry again for the unprecise info.
Comment 3 Xavier Claessens 2009-10-20 20:52:12 UTC 
This is probably a bug in the GdkPixbuf loader for svg.
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2013-12-19 11:22:20 UTC 
in any case, very unlikely to be a gdk-pixbuf problem - images with transparent background are used all over the place, and work fine.
