According to the channel panel (or was that chunnel tunnel? 
Something like that.) for which a screenshot is posted, the alpha 
channel exists.

Will have to look for that next time GIMP is running. Recently the 
system was upgraded from Debian 9 to 10. As you see from the 
screenshot, the panels are now almost exclusively various shades of 
grey text and icons on a darker grey background.  >8~(  (Is this 
new dis-feature in Debian only?  Upstream release?  I'm trying to 
imagine a justification.)

Consequent to "grey everywhere", I might have difficulty recognizing 
whether "anti-erase" is not set or not not set.  Certainly will look.

Greyscale mode.  Also evident in a panel in the screenshot.

If all else fails I can at least use the clone tool to get a not-too-bad result.

Thanks for the help,         ... P.
