At 100% 'quality' it does have an alpha.  Supposedly it is part of the JPEG
spec, but I haven't seen anyone other than Apple use it.  It is kind of like
having a TIFF with run-length JPEG compression.

The dialog always stopped rendering because the event loop waits for the
dialog to close.  You will notice that GEM creates a 'pd' app in the Dock in
order to do things like window management.  Command line apps in OSX cannot
just open windows without being a GUI app.  It is a hack.

Apple broke the event handling code used in GEM in 10.5.  There is no fix
other than 'write a full Cocoa app'.
