Fixed PNG images

Attached is a tarball containing fixed copies of the affected PNG images, in the hope that they can be included in future Gnumeric releases.

The error libpng 1.6 gives for the existing PNG files is:

"IDAT: invalid distance too far back"

More information is available on our Arch Linux mailing list:

Many thanks.

Hmm...  Thanks.

Clearly the libpng people don't believe very much in backwards compatibility.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
