[wxPython] Icon Transparency....

Hey I have this peice of code and it is primarily used under Windows.
However, I have ported all the incompatible bits [about 16 lines] to work
under GTK & Linux.

When I load my icons, [png files] under Windows the transparancy works fine.
However under Linux, I get this hideous pink background. [I chose the pink
as the transparency color. However i see it, instead of a transparency under
wx. I have used MS Photo Editor, and GIMP, both have shown the
transparency properly.] I have been trying to figure out what to do... but
to no avail. And at this end, I write to the list..

My App is using wxMDIChildFrame, and loading images + text into a wxListCtrl.

I am using Python 2.1, wxGTK 2.3.0, and wxPython 2.3.0
Under Redhat LInux 7.1 - XFree 4.0.3, GTK+1.2.9, and GTK+ 1.3.9
Hope everyone has an idea =)

*note: I have had this problem since Py 1.52 and wx* 2.2 but it wasn't
relevant at the time, and I assumed it would be a non-issue by the time I was
ready to deploy under Linux.
