Hey, Ofnuts
Not sure if you meant me but, the background was there before I uploaded to Imgur or any other forum.
Took the image off the net -> Uploading into GIMP -> Added Alpha Channel to all layers -> Removed the background -> In GIMP is plays perfectly with a transparent background -> I Export it -> Has a white background in output file.

It is probably the 'tool' you are using to view the gif I use linux so I do not have those you referenced
exanple: nview on the left does not show transparency (shows white) Same image and viewnior on right does.
Some web browsers can be the same, Firefox shows white, Slimjet shows a checker pattern.
Hey, Rich
Fair enough with the tools but the photo viewing application I'm using wouldn't show a background if it was transparent, however it's transparent in GIMP and in the GIMP play back the output file, however, is not.
Can you attach the XCF (or the XCFGZ)? (up to 2MB, so if the XCF is 6MB, saving to XCFGZ will likely compress it enough to be accepted here). Otherwise putting it on a decent file sharing site (DropBox or else) is a solution.
