I tried rebuilding gqview and feh with no success. feh complains about
no imlib support for jpegs so I rebuild imlib, which didn't help.
Before going to bed I started a full world rebuild. I'll reboot after
that to ensure I pick up new shared libraries and we'll see what
happens. This violates the principle of least surprise though.

I am finding this about gentoo. On FreeBSD I could disable X11
support, but it's on by default. I agree with that. On gentoo I have
to explicitely enable jpg support?? Why the hell would I not want it?
I find that needlessly difficult. The default should be the common
case, not the uncommon one.
