In short, jpeg-7 breaks some things :) It's not compatible with |
23 |
previous versions and while most programs don't have a problem with |
24 |
that, some do. |

I'm not sure exactly what causes XFCE to break, but gtk+ is broken |
27 |
with jpeg-7 and causes other apps like gqview to be screwed up as |
28 |
well. There's a patch on the gtk+ bugzilla that fixes it. If XFCE uses |
29 |
gtk+ that might be the cause. Recompiling all of XFCE might fix it, |

too. |
