I'm seeing this in KDE's bugzilla web site (among others), which I have
always used without this problem. And Firefox correctly identify the
file as "PNG image" in the open file dialog. It seems this is not the
cause of the problem. Also, the problem is just with PNG files, but not
other types of image files.
