Bug Description
1. Find a JPEG image
2. Rename it to end in '.png'
3. Open this image with eog.
What happens:
"Could not load image '…'.
Fatal error reading PNG image file: Not a PNG file
What should happen:
The image should just load, based on the contents, not on the extension.
(Noticed when looking at the contents of the 'ubuntu-wallpapers' package:
$ dpkg -L ubuntu-wallpapers | grep ubuntu.png | xargs file
/usr/
(this image is named like this for backwards compatibility reasons).
