Did you see my earlier e-mail? The reason xfbd won't use jpg's is that
it's not compiled with jpg support. That in turn means that the
./configure script cannot find the 'gdk-pixbuf-config' and/or
'imlib-config' scripts. 

As far as I can see there are only two real possibilities:
o You don't have the *-dev packages installed, or
o their install is broken (deleted files, corrupted file system)

Just check if gdk-pixbuf-config is in your $PATH.
