Netscape has very ropey support for PNG format images. Save as GIF? (I know that's not really a fix, but it's that or one of those awful "You need ot use IE to view this webpage" popups.

I imagine you'd need to rewrite big lumps of GIMP specially for it, so in theory yes, in practice life's too short.
