I have never been able to get any kind of icons to work except for png
on Nagios 1.2, same permissions and all.  In fact, I had the same
problem with the sample statusmap logo images from the Nagios website
links.  I never did figure out why and didn't pursue the issue.  Even
then I had to be careful on their data format when making my own and
saving them as png files, and I had to play with the settings before
they would display properly (use palette indexing!).  I converted all my
pictures using gimp.   Even converting them to GD2 did not work for me,
so I just stuck with png files.
