There's a couple of scripts that take a background
color (or layer) and make a thin halo around your
transparent image. This won't make a smooth gradient,
but if you have some idea what your background is
going to be it looks great. Even against a patterned
background the human eye is quite forgiving.
The 2 I know offhand (I wrote one) are prep4gif and
alphaGif.
Happy GIMPing,
