Konqueror Branch 3.5 JPEG thumbnail creation issue

["Steven P. Ulrick" <lists-kdedevel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, Everyone
I made a guess that this would be the correct list to bring this to,
because it involves (at least on our system) an apparent regression
from previous behavior using the sources located in KDE's 3.5 Branch on
SVN.  (I compile from the Branch 3.5 SVN tree.)

In my user account (and every account that I have created to test this
with before bringing it to your attention) I have the following lines
in my "~/.bash_profile":

QTDIR=/usr/local/qt-3.3.8
PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

KDEDIRS=/usr/local/kde-svn-3.5
PATH=$KDEDIRS/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIRS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export KDEDIRS PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH LIBRARY_PATH

Of course, my Branch 3.5 KDE install is located
at "/usr/local/kde-svn-3.5" and the QT that I compiled for Branch 3.5
KDE is located at "/usr/local/qt-3.3.8"

The actual problem is that if I have a directory of images open in
Konqueror using the "Icon View", only the thumbnails for images OTHER
THAN jpeg's are generated:
http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/001.jpg

If I create a user and NEVER log them into my branch 3.5 KDE install,
if I run the Konqueror that ships with Fedora 8, this is the result
using the same directory of images:
http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/002.jpg

Also, this is a screenshot of Konqueror's "View | Preview" menu:

All of this has "just worked" for me for years.  It even worked for
me properly AFTER my recent fresh install of Fedora 8, but BEFORE a
recent upgrade of KDE from Branch 3.5.

To summarize, even if I create a completely fresh user and log them
into my Branch 3.5 SVN install of KDE, thumbnails for jpeg's will not
be properly generated as shown in the first screenshot above.
But, if I create a completely fresh user account and only ever log them
into the KDE that ships with Fedora 8, then thumbnails for all image
formats that Konqueror supports are generated as expected.

Again, this all worked properly before and after my recent fresh
install of Fedora 8 (I used to run Fedora Core 6) and it only stopped
working after a recent upgrade of KDE from the Branch 3.5 SVN tree.

If you need any more information, I will be glad to oblige.  I am not
complaining about this not working.  I cannot write code, but I can
report bugs (if they are bugs, of course) and that is my contribution
to the community.
