Sorry I didn't respond sooner.  I've been away at a conference.

Yes.

It was originally a jpeg that I exported as PNG using the GIMP.  The 'file' command also says it's a PNG.

Nope.  Just tried that and it's still solid black behind the cube.

$ glxinfo -l | grep GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE
  GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = 4096

I understand that.  Thanks for trying, though.  I appreciate it!
