Computer 2 cannot show images at all. The thumbnails in Konqueror are not showing (I get a blank spot where the thumbnail should be.. just the filename is shown). If I click on the image, Konq asks what to do with the image - as if the file associations are broken. I've checked the file associations, and they are all exactly the same as on the working computer.
If I try to open the image in Gwenview, the viewer opens, and only a black bit is shown where the image should be.
If I try to open the image in Kuickshow it comes up blank as well.
But... if I open the image in KView I can see the image just fine.
Check the file associations in gnome-control-center as well.
Gnome is OK. If I bring up the Gnome file manager (for example) I can see the image thumbnail, and when I open the image, Eye Of Gnome launches and shows the image exactly like it should.
I've definitely broken something in KDE... not sure how/what though. Normally I'd just roll back to the previous build/version of KDE... except that I have a second computer running the same updates from APT and it's fine. That's kind of thrown me for a proverbial loop... I've tried all the obvious things like comparing the RPM databases... comparing the settings in KDE and Gnome (I use both WMs) and ... I can't see the differences.
I can try rolling back one build on KDE... as far as I can tell the whole thumbnailing and image handling in KDE/Konq is done with stuff from the kdegraphics3 package... If it's just the one package it's easy enough to roll back on version/build... but... is this the first place i should be looking?

Out of curiosity, do you have Crossover Office installed? I ask because I had a similar issue with images no longer displaying in Konq and traced it back to Crossover taking over the jpeg file associations. Removing the Crossover entry for jpeg in the KDE file associations fixed it for me. -- Cheers, Trey ---- The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. -- Emerson Linux chameleon 2.6.15-rc6-git2-20051229170200-default i686 GNU/Linux 6:51pm up 7:08, 4 users, load average: 0.23, 0.25, 0.18
