It's an RFE... ideally, you want the images in the gallery to not be
loaded. If you don't care about actually loading the images (you just
want them to disappear):

addOnloadHook( function () {
  if(wgCanonicalNamespace == "Category") // or wgNamespaceNumber == 14
  {
    for(var id in document.getElementsByTagName("div"))
    {
      if(document.getElementsByTagName("div")[id].className == "thumb")
      {
        document.getElementsByTagName("div")[id].style.display = "none";
      }
    }
    // refresh the footer
    document.getElementById("footer").style.display = "none";
    document.getElementById("footer").style.display = "";
  }
}

Tested via a javascript console in Firefox 2.0, using Monobook. Should
work if you put it in monobook.js but I haven't actually tested it.
