If that were the case wouldn't i have a HUGE white area? I basically take the main piece it comes from and erase everything that i don't need. So trimming is not an entirely accurate statement on my part.
After wards i just use a rectangle select and move it to a new canvas and scale the image before anchoring it.
Ill take a look at the tools in GIMP however and see if there is something along that line that i am missing. I freely admit I'm not terribly well versed in image software.

These are the steps i take when editing art like that.
1. copy and paste art to a whole new image file. Make sure it has a transparent background.
2. Trim away all the unwanted art, i also recommend maybe using the blur tool if you are cutting away using the rectangle tool. This will clean up the edges and make it look less chopped off. If you aren't and you are just using the eraser then i would use the fuzzy edged round eraser brush.
I love gimp because you don't have to fool with alpha channels
