I did have trouble like that even when saving as an 8 bit PNG with indexed transparency, the advice I got on debug was to save it as a gif and use gif2mng.exe to convert the file into a png. I don't know if the newer clients have better codecs readers now but I know it solved a lot of trouble for me a while back.

I am not positive but I think it comes with graal when you install the dev stuff.
