Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy.
For me, I've always been able to see jpegs, until recently. Your description of what is happening on your machine(s) sounds exactly like mine.
Like I said, my "recently" was two or three years ago, but same idea. I screwed up some little setting at that time, and it's followed me through four or five new SuSE versions.
The only other strange thing is that I can log into a session as root and all is fine.
Same here. This only confirms that it's a config setting for your (and my) regular user. And since it is a user config, it gets preserved through upgrades/installs, if you keep your /home. Now, if somebody will just take pity on us and let us know _which_ obscure setting (or obscure combination of settings) is causing the problem, we'll both be a little happier. But don't get your hopes up. Like I say, it's been a couple of years for me and I don't recall seeing the problem described by anybody else, so you now have the distinction of being the second-ever dummy in the SuSE fold. <gdr&h> Kevin
