Why does the image not appear?

I am in a bit of a predicament as I try to include two PNG formatted pictures in one of my homework exercises. The following code has always worked for me without any problems: 

\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{gst}

The only difference is that i recently switched from Exherbo GNU/Linux to Ubuntu GNU/Linux. Different scaling or trying out DVI-mode did not do any good.

I use the package graphicx in the following way:

\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}

The program compiles without errors (with pdflatex) but when I take a look at the PDF the images have the right dimensions but are blank.

I have read some other questions about this but did not find any conclusive answer for my problem. As stated above i tried DVI-mode (converting my picture to eps) and re-labeling the name of the file (from gst to gst.png).

What might be the problem causing this misbehaviour?

UPDATE: Mr. Scharrers comment pointed me into the right direction - the draft option for the documentclass has to be deactivated.

    Are they are completely blank or is the file name written inside a framed box? (see here). You normally don't need to give the pdftex option. The package is intelligent enough to figure the driver out by itself. Try also to include a different PNG as test. – Martin Scharrer Feb 18 '11 at 21:56

    Alternatively (if you like the draft option for the black markings of overfull boxes, but still want to see the images) you could add a final option to the graphicx package, which overrides the default set by \documentclass[draft]. – Paŭlo Ebermann Feb 18 '11 at 22:38
