Description Dae Punt 2004-03-07 18:02:25 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.2-r5 
OS:          Linux

No GIF files mentioned in SRC IMG tages are displayed in Konqueror when browsing the web.
I tried several GIF files, different names, different permissions, different content and I can't believe it.
I checked for a flag in Konqueror (maybe a Disable GIF Display or so), but I found nothing.
JPEG's do work. Hmmm. Strange!

Your qt lacks gif support, -no-gif is default flag. Not a kde-bug.
Comment 2 Dae Punt 2004-03-07 18:48:22 UTC 
Ooops! Sorry I woke you up ;-)
Will you kill me if I ask how I disable the -no-gif flag?

$ head README.qt-copy
To configure this copy of Qt 3.3.1, type some variation of:

export QTDIR=$PWD
export YACC='byacc -d'
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure -system-zlib -qt-gif -system-libpng -system-libjpeg \
  -plugin-imgfmt-mng -thread -no-stl -fast
make sub-tools

This will give you the minimal version of Qt that is required for KDE.
