Right. If it is a PNG image and the gamma information was written 
correctly, your PNG viewing software reads and uses it, and your viewing 
software is set up correctly with your system's gamma, it will display 
with the proper gamma correction. Unfortunately, it seems like at least 
one of these is usually wrong.
