Subject: Tk supports only GIF?

I has this snippet to show images:

  require 'tk'

  TkLabel.new do
    image TkPhotoImage.new('file'=> 'world.gif')
  end.pack

  Tk.mainloop

But if I point it to some PNG or JPEG file, I get a "couldn't recognize
data in image file" exception. If I add an explicit 'format' => 'png', I
get a "image file format 'png' is not supported" exception.

I'm using Ubuntu.

Doesn't Tk support JPGs and PNGs out of the box?
