GIF supports transparency just fine, albeit not *partial*
transparency. Because it doesn't support partial transparency, setting the
background to transparent in Photoshop/GIMP is not the correct way to
control GIF transparency. You need to explicitly create an alpha channel for
your image, and see the transparent sections in that.

However, I would recommend you use PNG's in general - it is a significantly
more modern format, and does support partial transparency.
