    The gtk-only build of AbiWord 1.0.3 needs to have jpeg support explicitly
    linked in to the build. I can't remember the exact build option right now.

    It could be that the "official" gtk-only builds of 1.0.3 did not have jpeg
    importing turned on by default since it adds an extra dependency. Try
    downloading the gdkpixbuf loader plugin from the www.abisource.com. If you
    have gdk-pixbuf on your system it will load every image type you have on
    your system (GIF's, xpm's, TIFF's etc...)

    All this is built by default for the gnome builds.

    Cheers

    Martin
