I have a PNG with a completely transparent background as well as semi transparent pixels around the main image (think shadows / blur).

On its own, it displays as I expect. If I use it on a web-page, the page background colour shows through the transparent and semitransparent pixels with the various levels of opacity. Good.

However, when I paste this alpha image into a separate PNG image ( which has no alpha ) in a new window in GIMP, the semi transparent pixels loose their alpha settings and become completely opaque.

How do I fix this?

I did reproduce your issue, but it only occured if pasting into an indexed mode new window, so you can fix this by pasting your image into a RVB mode new window instead.
