Description:

The plasma_wallpaper_image component is unable to render jpegs when upgrading to libjpeg-7-1.
Extracting only libjpeg.so.62 from an earlier package to /usr/lib fixes the issue. Since the rest of KDE is using libjpeg-7-1, this seems to be some local linking error.

Qt's image scaling does sometimes report about a null image.

Additional info:
* kdebase-workspace 4.3.0-2


Steps to reproduce:
upgrade to libjpeg-7-1.
restart plasma-desktop
Try to set wallpaper type to image/slideshow.
Screen becomes blank
But if image is set to some .png image it works.

Then extract /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 from an older libjpeg
restart plasma-desktop
Now image/slideshow works perfectly with jpegs
This task depends upon

Weird, Are you sure that your system is up-to-date for all packages? Because I can put my jpeg as wallpapers.
When you have the old libjpeg62 extracted in your system, KDE is loaded and jpeg is displayed as wallpaper. What show this command?
$ lsof -n | grep libjpeg

what is your qt version?

Quite strange this is working fine for me, too.
