KDE desktop icons

[Asheville Joe]

Thanks,  I was poking around and found all sorts of stuff.  Some are 
png.  Some are .xpm (whatever that is - but they work) and some are 
.icon (and maybe one or two other things). 

So far, I'm pretty clueless about graphics editing.  I took a quick 
forray into the gimp and decided I'll have to read a book before I 
canget it to do anything useful.  Anyway, I found one xpm that I am 
using.  It has a blue background that I would like to make transparent.  
What's an easy way to do this?
