bring the xpm file up in a text editor, locate the character
representing the background color, and change the color entry to "none".
i.e.,

/* XPM */
static char *MtDew[] = {
/* width height num_colors chars_per_pixel */
" 21 38 9 1",
/* colors */
". c none",
"# c #808080",

where a . makes up the backround in this particular image...
