PNG works fine both in Galeon and Mozilla. For example if I open myportal: 
then do File->Save As and open just saved file then images are displayed 
correctly. Moreover, if I hack galeon's sources and replace default myportal: 
images with JPEG, then local JPEGs (referred by file://) do not work, but 
remote JPEGs (http://) work fine. So I think this is not PNG specific, but 
rather specific for myportal page and file:// URLs. I have no clue on what 
this can be. 

Should I ask on galeon's or mozilla's list?
