This is perhaps rather silly, but I've just been using my favourite
icon editor "vi" to replace the relevant random colour with "none".
Usually the first colour in the XPM file is the one that needs changing;
you end up changing from something like:
" c #EEEEEEEEEEEE",
to
" c none",
The ImageMagick package can be used to create transparent backgrounds
interactively, but I found "vi" to be a lot faster.
