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??
