Description R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar 2003-04-26 04:25:47 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.1.1)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-bf2.4

Only .png file wallpapers are loaded and may be installed; .jpg files are not.
This bug has been previously reported and said to be resolved, but I am still experiencing it in KDE 3.1.1.  

When the cursor is on a .jpg file, the preview window shows the background I selected as default rather than the .jpg file.

Can it be due to something in my .kde directory from past installations?

If not, how do I make jpg wallpapers selectable?

Do work jpg wallpapers elsewhere in KDE apps?

your jpeg plugin isn't found, either it's not installed or you have 
a misconfiguration

I had a problem with kscreensaver as well, and this was traced to an 
absent libGLU.so.1, which comes from the Open GL/Mesa library.

When I installed xlibmesa3-glu_4.2.1-6_i386.deb, the kscreensaver and 
wallpaper problems both disappeared simultaneously.  I was able to 
preview and display .jpg wallpapers.

Is xlibmesa3-glu included in the default KDE 3.1.1 installation?  I do 
not know what other packages I might be missing.  In any case, what is 
the .jpg plugin called, and in which package does it reside?
