JPEG is an extremely poor format for storing
simple images with few colors. As an example,
that 'light bulb' icon seems to originate from
a concept that only involved 16-32 colors, yet
the actual area of the screenshot it occupies
now contains 1023 colors.

The transparency value of the colors. It is
tricky though, when you might have 22 slight
variants of 'off-white'. Also, that icon was
meant to show partially transparent 'effects'
around the exterior dots. Those pixels need to
be made partially transparent as well, in order
to get the right effect with a different background.
How you would achieve all that in gimp (or any way
other than editing by hand), I do not know.
