Title:
  eog fails to open JPEG image ending in '.png'

Status in “eog” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png: JPEG image data, JFIF 
standard 1.02

  (this image is named like this for backwards compatibility reasons).
