Argh, sorry about the breakage, this time I remembered about
desktop-backgrounds and such, but forgot you depend on this for KDM and
KSplash as well (and for the packaging I just take what I'm given and I
always thought there were problems neither with PNGs nor JPGs [we used
both formats for our backgrounds in the past])... 

After reading the bug, I'm not sure if you still need the PNGs? IMHO the
best solution at this point would be to put a PNG copy (you could even
generate it at build time from one of the JPGs with e.g. ImageMagick)
into the KSplash package.

For others -- perhaps we should, starting with F14, use only PNGs for
backgrounds, or at least do *not* change the format post beta?

Martin
