independantly of seaside, if you type this full url in your browser do
you have it displayed ?.. because it seems that everything works
correctly in seaside/pier, it's just that you don't  server the files.

Note that you _need_ a web server to serve this in addition to seaside
-- you need either something like apache or lighttpd for example, that
would serve your /home/mariano/galeria/ files.

well, everything do seem to work correctly -- all the images are
generated, which is all we should need. So it's either the reported
final url that is wrong (as for example the port wasn't included) or
that you don't have a webserver set up to serve the images from those
final url.
