Use Transparency by Aaron Giles (the wonderful altruistic person who developed JpegView). You can then set the deleted white space as transparent to whatever color is used by the WWW client viewing program.

If you make your .gifs interlaced, you might run the interlace before using Transparency.

Good luck,
