The best solution would be do remove the Gamma correction, and stick
to a flat 1.0 from the PNG file to the final display.
BUT there is the well-known problem of backward compatibility...
And systems which are unable to display correctly a gamma 1.0 image,
because they are not correctly calibrated or have no idea what a gamma
correction really is.
