Artifacts with Crop Image? +2 Bonus!

[Tony]

We do a lot of work with images that we've hit with the "set transparent
color tool."

However, when you used the crop tool on such an image, and the newly set
edge of the image is over the transparent color, it leaves a greyish white
line over the transparent color.

I know I can paste special as a png, but we use the crop tool to retain the
rest of the image in case we need it later.

What's the deal? I'm referring, of course, to PPT 2007. This didn't happen
in 2003.

2 Bonus questions not worth their own posts:
1. Is there a way to move the customizable toolbar from below the ribbon to
somewhere else?
2. Is there a way to permanently turn off the default "compress images on
save"?

There's a registry hack, though.
