I've had similar problems using GIMP to edit the existing pages. What I've been doing is once I get everything to where I like it is copy the whole image again, start a new image in GIMP with a transparent background, and paste the image into it. I lose any semi-transparencies (that is, all the partially-see through areas become solid again), so I need to use the delete tool (at 50% pressure) to recreate those, but its a lot easier than working with multiple programs.

If you dont want to change the alpha channel at all, you can also just open the file in Paint Shop and paste/draw what you want there. It won't change the alpha at all, so you dont have to worry about it.
