Ok, I guess the Gimp plugin does what it should, although I never used it myself. uld have been more talk around here if it didn't work right...

What ImageMagick version do you use? From this output, I would guess it's 6.0.7. Am I right?
In IM6.0.7 something has changed regarding the transparency definition letting spumux fail in autodetecting the button outlines. Maybe there is more impact on this also causing spumux to fail completely as shown above.
I've attached a patch for subgen-image.c, which makes spumux work with IM6.0.7 again (at least regarding the autodetection of buttons). Copy the patch into the src-Directory of dvdauthor and run

 patch -Np0 -i subgen-image.patch

and recompile dvdauthor afterwards. Maybe this does help in your situation, too.
