I was later told that the GIF patent/copyright (??) holder is actively pursuing
those using GIFs without a license. I can find no mention of this on kde.org.
Rather Bug#3776 "gif not displayed" reported 5/19/00 gets the answer:
Are you certain that you configured and compiled Qt with gif
support? I had the same problem at the outset with Qt2/KDE2 until I
recompiled Qt with gif support.
Maybe the port sets gif off in Qt??
