Nightmare is a bit hyperbolic I'd say. From memory, use the magic wand tool, select the white area. Selection menu, expand by 4 or 6 pixels. Colors menu, color to alpha, pick white. Done.

    Sure, this can sort of get the job done with somewhat bad results.

    The icons in my case were complex, so a single click with magic wand wound not select all of the parts .

    Expand by 4 blurs the icons at the edges. This is actually pretty bad, and would result in lost detail and a washed out look.

    The operation in gimp is destructive, so tweaking in multiple steps is not really possible, and creates a bad workflow.

    No, Gimp is terrible and not up to the task at all.
