FYI, there's a gsweb specific list:

Do you use GNUstepWeb or WO ?
Have you checked web error logs to see if there's an error about this image 
file ?
What is the generated url for the image file ?

If you use GNUstepWeb, as far as I remember, you should put your file in 
WebServerResources directory. not in a Contents/Resources one. filename is 
"Path to the image relative to the WebServerResources directory."
