Separate issue.  The transparency code just doesn't work on 8 bit displays.
Someone will have to go through it and debug.  Preferrably someone with 
access to 8, 16, and 24 bit displays so that the 8-bit fixes don't re-break
the 24-bit stuff (that was only recently fixed, but 8-bit transparency remains
an elusive, busted thing).
