Oh why is "Transparency" a color for the "Select by Color" tool, but not for any of these:
* "Fuzzy Select"
* "Color picker tool"
* for the active forground/background color
* Bucket fill set to "Fill similar colors"
To fill a transparent background of one layer you literally have to either use "inverse selection after having selected everything else, or use that "select by Color" (cause of this special handling) + Bucket tool "Fill whole selection" instead of just "Fill similar colors"
