*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 172416 ***

Public bug reported:

  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).

** Affects: eog (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
