The symptoms anyway :-)

With PNG make sure you have a single colour set as transparent, rather 
than having an alpha channel.

Yes, I do have it.  I can't quite make my mind up which corner to use.

wsmanager is what I had already tried.  virtue is way nicer, but still 
suffers from being unable to simply let you move windows around.  For 
example I have a terminal window.  If I am following some instructions 
in a web page then I'll move it to the room with the browser in.  Then 
I may move it back to the one where my editor is.  On all the panners I 
have ever used on any other operating system, you can just drag the 
windows in the panner.  wsmanager lets you drag it, but not outside of 
the current room.  virtue just lets you drag the entire room, but none 
of the contents.

I am having real issue with keyboards.  I have a USB Logitech keyboard 
and have tried 3 different KVMs which give varying combinations of 
Windows and Mac being confused.
