I was out on Friday and whole weekend as I was organizing Openmobility 
conference. Rex worked on it, I'm about checking his fix. I'll let you know 
asap.

Would be great for F-14 to go with PNG only, format change after beta is 
problem and same problem is applying Kevin's fix for KSplash - it's too late 
for inclusion to F-13. Maybe we can try to make it possible to F-14 but the 
reason for limited support of fileformats is speed - splash should be as quick 
as possible - so currently KSplash even isn't proper Qt application. So we 
should check performance impact first.
