Summary0013740: Images inserted as *.xcf exported with black instead of transparency to PDF
DescriptionImages edited with Gimp that have transparency work fine in the UI (you see the background through the transparent parts), work fine when exporting as images, but get exported with a solid black background when exporting to PDF.

i have tried PDF 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6, all to the same effect.
Btw, this also happens on Scribus 1.5.0 (scribus-ng) besides this nightly 1.5.1svn that I report it to.
Steps To Reproduce1. Create an XCF file with Gimp, that contains transparency.
2. Insert that image as XCF into a Scribus document.
3. Export the doc in PDF.

the exported content has black as the transparent background. when exported as image, it works fine as expected.

I used Kubuntu 15.10, which has Gimp 2.8 14 and Okular 0.23.2. Chromium Version 48.0.2564.82 Ubuntu 15.10 (64-bit) does render it just the same.
Additional InformationI have prepared the sample images and a doc to help reproduce. See the files here:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4bT_4wglnDobnEyQzdNVmFEeU0&usp=drive_web

In that dir the sample.sla includes both *.png and *.xcf image. The sample.pdf illustrates what I mean.

I added the export of PDF 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 to the sample directory.
Only 1.3 gives correct results.

Seems to be a GraphicsMagick bug as calling gm convert on the .xcf gives the same weired result.
