graphics - How to concatenate icons into a single image with ImageMagick?

Question

I want to use CSS sprites on a web site instead of separate image files, for a large collection of small icons that are all the same size. How can I concatenate (tile) them into one big image using ImageMagick?

convert works much better than montage. It arranges images vertically or horizontally and keeps png transparency.

convert *.png -append sprites.png (append vertically)
convert *.png +append sprites.png (append horizontally)
