Hi Jan,

to understand what happens, try
  prompt$ wml -p1-7 -v test.wml
you will see something like
  <html><head><title>test</title></head><body>
  <img src="t_akt[LANG_DE::][LANG_FR:_f:]_lo.gif" alt="">
  </body></html>

Thus when wml_p7_htmlfix is invoked, image file can not be found and
height and width attributes cannot be inserted. One solution is to call
htmlfix as an epilog filter. Define a script htmlfix.sh
#!/bin/sh
/path/to/wml_p7_htmlfix $1 > $1.$$ && mv $1.$$ $1

Now run wml this way:
  prompt$ wml -E /path/to/htmlfix.sh test.wml

Note: the <de: > tag is useless in your example.
