I believe Jacqueline is correct. You probably saved the GIF with incorrect settings.
The GIF format has several ways to further compress an animation (besides just LZW and reduced # of colors).
One way is to do interframe compression by only storing differences between frames, instead of storing a separate image for each frame. This can be called "redundant pixel removal." Most animated GIF programs automatically turn this on. While it works great in browsers (because it makes for very small files), it's not good for RR as the RR engine needs to step forwards and backwards through a GIF file (browsers, don't), which is most difficult from an engine point of view. See if your software can build GIFs without redundant pixel removal (ImageReady can do this).
Another way is to use a bounding box compression scheme, which looks at the background of a single frame and draws a box around only the pixels which are different. So a 100 x 100 frame could have a small logo in the middle which would be bounded by a region 50x50, so the GIF file only stores the 50x50 rectangle and includes a pointer to the place where it starts.
Again, it's probably wise to turn this feature off as well (again, ImageReady can do this).
So, try reprocessing you GIF's and see if it doesn't solve your problems. It should.

Thanks, Jacquline,
In an update, the customer tells me that the standard pointy finger icon
appears on a black background. I seem to remember this being discussed ages ago
on the list, but I can't find it. Anyone help?
The Hogmanay reference was a bit early, but I didn't think I would post again
until it was over. And of course, Revolution *must* be 'Hogmanay' or maybe
with a nod to the French contingent, 'hoguinane'.
Best wishes,
