  I've made some tests with ubuntu, Gem displays the converted file with 
the alpha, no problems...

  In fact the problem come from the windows release of Gem (XP at least).

  All 0.91 dll versions crashes pd (both 0.39-3 and 0.41).I'll try soon 
to compile Gem.dll to have more info about that.

  The 0.90.1 snapshot doesn't display the tiff images made with convert,
the image is well displayed only if I enable the alpha channel and 
disable other channels with photoshop (or gimp).

  Fortunately for me, my video server will run under linux in the long 
term, but it's unfair to not having the same abilities with both platforms.
