I just upgraded to the latest gnome and some svg related displays don't work anymore. things that don't work anymore : - circle theme background for gdm, the theme works but instead of the blue background, it's now white. I checked the theme, it uses an svg file. - gtk buttons and gnome panel menus won't work when using svg themes. I get either nothing or a small file with a red X in it instead of the icons. - theme selector fails to fully switch to svg themes, window border don't work for these themes either the svg themes I use come from gnome-themes-extras and art.gnome.org. Neither work. Things that do work - icons on the desktop - icons in nautilus (however not the menu icons inside nautilus) - the rsvg* tools seem to work fine (I saw that gnome used librsvg) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mmmx -msse" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mmmx -msse" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/" LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 acpi alsa avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdparanoia cdr crypt cups dbus dga directfb dts dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode evo exif foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal howl imlib jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pda pdflib perl png ppds python quicktime readline real sdl spell sse ssl svg tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode userlocales vorbis win32codecs wxwindows xml2 xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS

http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/librsvg/gdk-pixbuf-loader/io-svg.c?r1=1.25&r2=1.26 I suspect that this change breaks it, some .svg files have <?xml headers and those files are no longer recognized.
Looks like that's what causing the bug. I modified my gdm theme to remove the <?xml header and the theme works again. Is there any indication in a ChangeLog or ML posts as to why svg files with valid xml headers should no longer be recognised as svg files? Could this fix be included in a tiny patch for librsvg making millions (ok, at least half a dozen) of users happy again with svg themes? Btw, I checked both /usr/share/themes and /usr/share/icons for .svg files, and only 10 out of 1033 on my box do *not* have the <?xml header, so it's not just some files, it's an overwhelming majority.
Were you using gnome 2.12 or 2.10? There was a problem with librsvg, where it was not masked with the gnome 2.12 mask. It required gtk+ from gnome 2.12, tho, to work properly, which was masked. The librsvg upgrade is now masked, and things should be working again, if that was your problem.
For the record, I can open XML SVGs fine.
librsvg now showed up as masked and emerge downgraded, marking bug INVALID Thanks both of you :)
