Can someone recommend a relatively simple application for minor
editing of png files for a docbook manual? At minimum, I need to
crop some images. Being able to overlay small amounts of text is
also useful. I know I can use GIMP for this, but it seems to take
me lots of time to relearn it every time I need to do something
simple.

The cause here is that Spectacle has captured a number of
screenshots (active window) with some type of border around the
windows, which I think should be removed before using. (This is
something outside the regular window border.) Any hints on why
spectacle might be acting up would also be welcome, but I'll
raise that as a separate issue at a later time.

It shows up as a white and gray checkerboard, which I seem to recall
seeing as the background of some icons, and I wonder if it is meant
to specify transaprent?
Yes, it's the basically standard way to specify the "transparent"
color.
And, there is an open bug for it:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374864. It's allowing for a
shadow border because someone once decided "it looks nice" (I'm
overstating, but not by much.)
One of my problems is that if I tell spectacle to capture the window
under cursor, when I click "Take a New Screenshot" the spectacle
window disappears and never comes back, no matter what I click and
whether I have a time delay or use "On Click."
I can't reproduce this on Fedora 27 (Spectacle 17.12.1).
I have to kill the spectacle process. So, I'm using Active Window,
which works, but with the extra border. Has anyone else seen this?
Is there any troubleshooting I might do - or should I report it as a
bug?
Do you use the last version?
I'm using the latest version marked stable on Gentoo - 17.08.3.
17.12.1 is available (marked as "testing" but for me to install it
would require accepting a whole additional bunch of other "testing"
versions. I'm willing to do that, but it will take some time to go
through all the config file changes I need to allow all those newer
versions. However, I also found an open bug for this one:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374864.
I'll have to try turning off compositing, as suggested in one of the
bugs (or both?)
