It seems reasonable to support PNG anyway as its a standard format, so
let's see how small gimp will let me squeeze them down in PNG format.
What you already do (convert PNG to indexed) is very effective in
reducing the file size.
Have you played with pngcrush (or something similar) to reduce the size
even more? (unfortunately, we don't have a yummable package for pngcrush)
Yeh, I did! With PNG crush I got the Inkscape-exported, 58KB png down to
48KB and I couldn't squeeze it down anymore. :(
The image (the (FC6 banner in the upper left) has a lot of gradients and
JPG compression would look a lot better for the size it's at now (~10k).
The previous version which was a jpg was only ~7k. I think there is some
way to squeeze PNGs down though for photographic/gradient artwork, but,
none of the FOSS tools I can find seem to do it. :(
