No, they're all white. I need to make them transparent.

I'm just learning how to do this myself, using the tutorial at the end of
Chapter 3 in Akkana Peck's excellent book "Beginning GIMP" ISBN 1590595874.
I'm using The Gimp 2.2 in Debian 4.0r3 Etch.
Make the background of the image transparent:
Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel
Tools > Selection Tools > By Color Select
Click on background color.
Ctrl-X to delete the background color.
File > Save
For the image you pointed to (roll.gif), I highlighted Frame 9
(in the Layers window)
which had a white background, The Add Alpha Channel was
already gray, so I did the By Color Select, then clicked on
the white Background and pressed Ctrl-X, then saved the
GIF image. (Save as Animation!)
Do this for each frame that has a white background.
I tested it by creating a simple HTML page with a black background
that displayed the modified animated GIF image. You may have to
click on several places in the background to get isolated spots
of white.
I think I've covered all the details?
