It's not problem of the indexed image. When you load the image into GIMP it
is correct and the background color value is #f7e4ca as it should be and
there is no dithering pattern. The dithering happens only on edges of fonts
or so and there it doesn't matter. The algorithm of the used dithering first
finds big surfaces of unique color and puts the color directly into palette.

As to bad support of png in browsers - I thought that MSIE 5.0 and
latest Mozilla nightly should be correct, or not?
