Can't do anything with JPEG's after upgrade from KDE 3.0.2

I recently upgraded KDE 3.0.1 that came with the SuSE 8.0 distribution. The upgrade path included installing RPM's for 3.0.2 earlier this month and then 3.0.3 late last week. I had no problems with the 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 transition. Everything seemed to work just fine. However, after upgrading from 3.0.2 to 3.0.3, everything works fine except I can no longer apply JPEG's to my desktop background, display JPEG's in the preview portion of the file dialog box, or open JPEG's with the Kpaint or Kview. Sounds like KDE isn't aware of the JPEG libraries in some way. Is there anyone that is experiencing this problem? Anybody know what to look for? Jerry
