Please find attached a drawing with transparent background.
Maybe, it's sufficient if the user can choose the window background.

Bug persists in Ubuntu 11.10 running Shotwell 0.11.6.
Can it really be that such a fundamental glitch is still unassigned after a year?
The affected images are actually unviewable by the program. A user option to change the photo viewer background colour (as is possible for the library background) is all that is needed.
