| large.  The darker squares should be dulled down to a lighter grey and
| the square size should be smaller.

	gimp has a dialog for modifying this:

	File -> Preferences -> Display

	There is an option to set "Light Checks" for the Transparency
type, as well as three "Check size" setting.  Sure, it could be
more configurable...I'm sure they'd accept a patch :-)
