This happens with all of GIMP's wood pattern, but other textures are fine, and when I preview the BMP in the file manage on the computer, it's fine, too.

Open the image in Gimp again and then use File->Export As...; preserve the name as it is [Export]; [Replace] and in the dialog expand the Compatibility Options and check "Do not write colour space information".
Back to Wings3d, use Refresh option to reload the image. It should looks fine now.
