Kde doesn't show JPG previews

Hi all!
I am running kde on my Gentoo Linux. I'm in trouble with JPG files preview in konqueror and in
my desktop. JPG files preview is totally invisible. I only solved this problem deleting the
/home/myUsername/.kde3.5/ folder recursively and reconfiguring my window manager with Kpersonalizer
at startup. I don't think it's a greath thing to erase anytime that folder in order to solve the problem.
I also think that probably some parameter in some config file contained into the ~/.kde3.5/share/config folder,
could be modified to show jpg previews correctly.
Could someone tell me how to fix this little problem?

Thanks a lot,

thecyborg

RE: Kde doesn't show JPG previews

Is it only with JPEG or also with other types? You could check if it's enabled in the View menu.
How was Qt configured regarding JPEG? Does it use the built-in JPEG-library or the external one? In case of the latter, maybe it can't find some required libraries.

Does Konqueror spit out useful information when you run it from the console?

RE: Kde doesn't show JPG previews

Yes, it's only with JPG Files.. Really, if I see png files on konqueror, their preview was not enabled, but it shows only default png icon type.
Png icon's file is a "camera" (like digital camera)...
Preview is enabled in the view menu on "images".
Sorry but I don't know how Qt is configured, I never seen this configuration. I think it uses the built-in JPEG library, I never modified any parameter in Qt configuration.

Anyway, I post output messages produced by konqueror when running from shell:
I run konqueror, and as I visualize some window containing JPG Files it writes:

	Source code
1	konqueror: WARNING: Pixmap not found for mimetype application/x-crossover-jpg

(The error above is repeated many times)

Note that I installed crossover office, but as I remember, deleting ~/kde3.5 all works properly and JPG previews are shown.

On closing Konqueror:

Source code

1
2
3

kio (KDirWatch): WARNING: KDirWatch::removeDir can't handle '/etc/samba/smb.conf'
kio (KDirWatch): WARNING: KDirWatch::removeDir can't handle '/etc/security/fileshare.conf'
kio (KDirWatch): WARNING: KDirWatch::removeDir can't handle '/etc/exports'

But I don't think this message is related to my problem.

It looks like a clear error message to me. But I'm not sure how to fix it. Could you check if there's an (existing!) icon associated with the x-crossover-jpg type, in the File Associations in Konqueror?

Thank you so match!
I deleted some entryes into apps in Files Association about x-crossover-office and all back to normality. JPG previews now are shown.
Thereby x-crossover entries conflicts with konqueror. Now it's ok!!!
