It doesn't fix the problem.  At least not on my Ubuntu machine which
is set up largely the same as whimsy-vm4.

The overall flow of drag/drop is to convert each input to pdf using
ImageMagick convert, and then concatenate the pdfs using pdftk.

Before this fix:

ImageMagic convert was refusing to convert gif files to pdf because I
had used a .pdf extension for the gif files.  Fixing the extension or
updating the configuration gets past this problem.

After this fix:

pdftk is refusing to concatenate the pdfs as they are zero length.
Which is odd, because I added debug logic on my machine to show the
sizes of the pdfs produced and  they (at least initially) have the
correct lengths.

I'm still digging, but may not have much spare time until this weekend.
