Hi Roy :) As much as I'm pretty sure that wasn't the problem (as no QT app I
used would "eat" JPEGs), it's all fine and dandy now. Upping Kubuntu from
Breezy to Dapper introduced a whole new arsenal of problems, so I finally
decided to start with a clean home folder, and now I'm in the process of
bringing back my mail, passwords, contact info, etc. No problems as of
yet :)
Cheers,
Daniel :)
