The EPSG code 3785 is a custom one, but the same of 900913 (I didn't know it thanks), except for the "+wktext" term. What does it mean?

OK, I'm lost with this issue. Could my calcs be wrong? I have, for example, this image:
http://www.nebulared.com/tmp_geo/UTM_ED50_Balearic_Island.png

And is georeferenced by this world file:
http://www.nebulared.com/tmp_geo/UTM_ED50_Balearic_Island.wld

The image is obtained for a MIF/MID couple of files with UTM projection, zone 30, ED50 datum (Mapinfo said... I don't know what 
are the dX, dY, dZ parameters, buth they must be -84, -107, -120). Really, the raster file obtained from MIF/MID files isn't a
PNG file, but I did the transform to "see" what I was doing.

OK, I need to reproject the image, and the output image must be used to overlay it in a GMaps' frame. This is my last attempt:

gdalwarp 
	-s_srs "+init=epsg:23030 +towgs84=-84,-107,-120,0,0,0,0" 
	-t_srs "+init=epsg:3785 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0" 
	-tr 250 250 
	-co INTERLEAVE=PIXEL 
	UTM_ED50_Balearic_Island.png
	GMaps_Balearic_Island.tif

Then, I transform the TIFF file in a PNG (transformation OK) and I have this image:
http://www.nebulared.com/tmp_geo/GMaps_Balearic_Island.png

But the image doesn't fit exactly in the map... Is there any error in this reprojection? If the projection is OK, I need to review
the rest of the code...

Thanks a lot!
