Many thanks to all respondents. It turns out there are two kinds of transparency; binary & alpha channel. IE6 can handle binary but not alpha channel. Something I read next (I forget what/where it was now) made a link between 'binary' and 'indexed' (neither term really meaning anything to me) so I used Gimp to creat a new image, chose to fill it with a transparent background and then switched to Indexed mode (as opposed to RGB or Greyscale) before exporting to PNG, and it worked! So, in short, if you want your transparent PNGs to work in IE6, switch to indexed mode before you export... it really does seem to be as simple as that.
