[magick-users] import, page geometry and gimp

[T o n g]

Hi, 

Whenever I use 'import imported.png' to grap a screen clip and then edit 
with gimp, I get an "empty" image. The image actually displays well with 
'display' or other picture viewing tools, e.g., qiv, gqview, etc. Just 
that gimp can't view it. 

I'm wondering why is that, and how can I fix the picture so that I can 
work on it in gimp?

My rough guess is that gimp thinks the captured image has a big offset 
from the upper-left corner:

  $ identify -verbose imported.png | grep -i geometry
  Geometry: 626x478
  Page geometry: 1017x882+391+404

I.e., I hope 'import imported.png' can give me a 626x478+0+0 image, 
instead of a 1017x882+391+404 one.

Thanks
