I did an emerge world yesterday (KEYWORDS=~x86) This updated gnome to 2.6. It seems like no gtk apps may view images anymore. Sometimes they show some default and sometimes nothing att all and sometimes the correct picture. e.g. no icons is shown in the program menu in gnome or in the startup splash screen or whatever it is called. All file icons in nautilus (including directories) show the same default icon. In eog and gthumb the icons in the menus show up but I may not view any pictures. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: standing in /usr/share/pixmaps and running eog xmms.xpm. This is just an example. The behavior is similar with other apps. Including nautilus. It is also similar when loading an png. It even says xpm not supported. Actual Results: output: bash-2.05b$ eog xmms.xpm (eog:31383): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Error loading XPM image loader: Image type 'xpm' is not supported (eog:31383): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Error loading XPM image loader: Image type 'xpm' is not supported (eog:31383): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf-io.c: line 761 (gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file): assertion `filename != NULL' failed Expected Results: Show the image... At least there is nothing wrong with the files. I may view them with display. I very unsure about what information is needed. Since it complains about xpm not supported even when trying to load png the problem seems to be with the XPM image loader.
I have managed to fix the problem. The problem is/was that gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders segfaults when I run as root, but it works as an ordinary user. That ment that the line gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders in x11-libs/gtk+/gtk+-2.4.0.ebuild failed. When I run it as an ordinary user and moved the file to /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders the pixbuf problem disappeared. I have no idea yet why it segfaults when I run as root but I will look into it.
your 'emerge info' ?

can you get a backtrace from the pixbuf loader crash ? (with debugging info)
This is the backtrace with debugging information (just gtk+). This was compiled directly from the clean gtk+-2.4.0.tar.bz2 with ./configure --prefix=/usr/ --enable-debug=yes The problem seems the same though. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x404787bc in ?? () (gdb) bt #0 0x404787bc in ?? () #1 0x40475285 in ?? () #2 0x40474ce4 in ??

How can I get debugging symbols in glib using emerge? I thought I could just set CFLAGS to "-g" but it seems you have to give --enable-debug=yes in configure.

librsvg version is 2.6.4
Still a problem? Try the newest librsvg etc. Reopen if the problem remains.
Thanks guys! This bug ticket gave me the hint needed to solve a similar issue in bug #286148 "gnome-base/gdm-2.20.9-r1: fails with gdk-pixbuf-csource: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file png" In summary, when building gdm, a utility gdk-pixbuf-csource would fail with: """ failed to load "./preferences-desktop-locale.png": Couldn't recognize the image file format for file './preferences-desktop-locale.png' """ "emerge librsvg" fixed the issue. More detail in my bug above.
