Bug Description

Binary package hint: kde

Icons for files containing bitmapped images (e.g. GIF, JPEG, PNG) on KDE 3.5.x had thumbnails of the image as the icon. This is missing and all the bitmaps seem to have the same icon: polaroid-looking hot air ballon. That's actually a nice-looking icon, but it's very helpful to see a thumbnail of the image as or in the icon itself.

This is from "kubuntu-kde4-8.04-alternate-amd64.iso"

The fix has been released in Jaunty. The fix will eventually be made available to Intrepid in somewhat unofficial KDE 4.2 packages. (Like KDE 4.1 in Hardy)
