Looks like Andrew Mickish and Fred Gilham did most of the heavy
lifting.

Actually, further delving reveals that Garnet pixmap display is busted
on Allegro 6.2 (at least on Linux), independent of the question of
transparent pixels in the diagrams.  I am working to identify a simple
bug case to submit this to them (works fine on CMUCL 18e).
Separately, I would like to be able to handle pixmaps with transparent
pixels, and there I'm butting my head against my ignorance of the X
protocols.

BTW, there are three of us who are semi-actively trying to maintain
and enhance Garnet through Sourceforge.  It's old, but no really
satisfactory substitute has appeared (with apologies to the McCLIM
project....).


Best,
Robert
