Displaying graphics with transparent areas

[Pierre Kleiber <pkleiber hi gmail com>]

Is there an image viewer that will display a jpg or png graphic on the desktop 
so that transparent regions are really transparent, as is the case for icons on 
the desktop? Applications like KView, and Image Viewer just show white 
background for the transparent parts.

Thanks,
