Transparency (alpha channel) is just a mask where White = full opacity and Black = full transparency (greys = degrees of transparency)
Go to Layer -> Mask -> Add Layer Mask and use Transfer layers alpha channel which will show the mask.
Quote:It has the look of a checkerboard. And when I open the png it still has the checkerboard.
It is only a representation, various programs might use different or nothing at all. You can change the representation in Edit -> Preferences -> Interface -> Display. Different checker / solid colour.
