Once loaded a .rgb or .rgba texture with alpha channel in a state, this code
works for me:

void enable_transparency( ssgLeaf *node )
{
	ssgSimpleState *state = (ssgSimpleState *)node->getState();
	state->enable( GL_BLEND );
	state->setTranslucent();
}

For simple blending function I also set:

	state->disable( GL_ALPHA_TEST );
