Are you really using Win 98 ? I can think of a few reasons but they are very few 
If you have trouble with unexpected colours, first check that the image is not Indexed-color. Set Image -> Mode -> RGB
About the image you posted. It is not tilable, might have come from something larger that is tilable, but a gradient across a single tile does not work: This comparison with a tilable pattern: https://i.imgur.com/6vvvn2g.jpg
A couple of things to try if the pattern is grayscale / B&W. Put the gradient in a layer on top and set the layer mode: example: https://i.imgur.com/rDK0xLY.jpg
If the pattern is coloured. Try and remove the background. Color -> Colour-to-Alpha The default is white, change for other colours. Then add the gradient as a layer underneath. example: https://i.imgur.com/7e21ApO.jpg
something different: More details please.
