Screenshot with mouse cursor (was: Transparent PNG)

Until I decided I wanted to show the mouse cursor. I got a screenshot
of a mouse cursor, cropped it down, and saved it as a PNG with an
appropriate transparent color. Viewing the PNG standalone in Firefox
works great, the transparent part doesn't show up.

Hi Rob,
one solution to your problem may be png2pdf (as already mentioned).
But you can avoid transparency handling (and the problems with it)
creating screenshots including the mouse cursor. I'd recommend
Xnview (see http://www.xnview.org) for this.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

Dirk
