Hi all,
 I think I know why the .jpg & the .svg files don't work. This is the
section of /boot/grub/grub.cfg

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###
insmod png
if background_image
(hd0,1)/usr/share/images/desktop-base/debblue-1600x1200.png ; then
  set color_normal=black/black
  set color_highlight=magenta/black
else
  set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue
  set menu_color_highlight=white/blue
fi
### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###


And there is a module called png.mod

address@hidden:~$ ll -h /boot/grub/png.mod
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.1K 2008-02-09 20:01 /boot/grub/png.mod

I'm guessing this is the reason those are parsed while others are not.
And I can see all the other images in the browser.  Maybe there needs
to be svg.mod & jpg.mod . There are no modules with this name in the
/boot/grub/ directory.
