Also, I just have to add. If the background is solid, as in all one color, it's easier to use the magic wand. ^^

As in:
Step 1. You know that cropping thing you hardly ever use? Click it. NOT SO FAST! The arrow on it, dude. The croppy thing is that liney-rectangle, top left.
Step 2.When you click the arrow, it should come up with a bunch of pictures. Choose the bottom one- a wand.
Congrats, you're using the magic wand.
Step 3. Have something in a solid color. I suggest oppening a black or any color 100x100. Make sure you have the magic wand out.
Step 4. Click the picture with the magic wand. In this case, the whole picture, but otherwise that color should be cropped.
Step 5. Press delete, or cut. Whatever you has selected should now turn white. Congrats.
In another case, it would get rid of part of the foreground and show the background.

Sorry, no piccies.

Oh, hey. Does it look like I use Paint Shop Pro 8 for my sig? I do. I have CS2, I don't like it, though. I only use it for cool backgrounds.

............ For Gimp, you can just use the lasso or use the paths to do so.
