Just a followup and FYI:  I'm going to be reverting the OSAF 
customizations in the MSW wxToolBar related to msw.remap, but even with 
that change we're still getting the blobs when in a 16-bit display mode. 
  I tried all the various msw.remap settings and they either all look 
like the first screen-shot in my original message, or for msw.remap=2 
they look worse because the non-opaque alpha pixels in all the images 
are draw black.

It's only in 32-bit display modes that the good-looking version of the 
disabled icons is used, as shown in my 2nd screen-shot in the original 
message.  In addition, if I use msw.remap=2 in a 32-bit display mode 
then there is a better rendering done, as shown here:

I didn't test any 8-bit display modes because none of my Windows 
machines can actually be set to such a mode.
