Thank you all for the answers: I wondered how could it be, that I overlooked this simple solution: Export[..., Background -> None], when I realized, I didn't. Actually, when saving any graphics object with this method indeed produces transparent background, *however* importing the result into Corel Photopaint X3 the figure does show up with a solid black background. That was the cause that made me write the post. It was pure chance that once I opened Photopaint X4 instead of X3 by mistake, I discovered that the background is indeed transparent. So it seems that it is a Corel X3 issue: it does not support alpha channels for PNG files. Istv=E1n
