As far as I know PNG expects the gamma to be set to the gamma correction
of the PNG file based on the screen gamma i.e. the display exponent.
That would be 1/gamma then. GIMP sets the gamma value 2.2, which is the
gamma value for the sRGB color space.

Do not check the checkbox labeled "Save gamma" in the PNG save dialog.
