Also, I've noticed my gimp png's transparentcy isn't showing correctly in Microsoft IE. Is this a bug with gimp, or MSIE?

Windows IE bug, known by Microsoft for at least five years.

Re: MNG support GIMP needs better animation support, perhaps even a (small) extra software package dedicated to this task. Every frame should be able to have multiple, sometimes common, layers.

e.g.

Picture of House + Bird with wings up + Man walk frame #1 Picture of House + Bird with wings down + Man walk frame #2 Picture of House + Bird with wings up + Man walk frame #3 Picture of House + Bird with wings down + Man walk frame #1 Picture of House + Bird with wings up + Man walk frame #2 Picture of House + Bird with wings down + Man walk frame #3

This needs 6 layers, six PNG (or JNG) sub-images in MNG and makes a 6 frame anim loop that's much tinier than the equivalent GIF.

I have no idea who will volunteer to do all this :( Meanwhile a MNG anim output equivalent to a layer->anim GIF save is not too difficult as a plug-in.
