I'm having the same problem on a freshly compiled kde3 final.  I'm not
sure that KDEDIR matters.  If you "browse" to the image you want, it
shouldn't matter what your KDEDIR is.  Chances are it's set properly any
way because kde won't run otherwise.  Furthermore, I know mine is set
properly and it's not working.  At first I thought it might be a problem
with jpg support, but konqueror can display jpgs just fine.  If one kde
app can do it, shouldn't they all be able to do it?

Ideas anyone?
