Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0802251315320.21295@toro.qb3.berkeley.edu>

So I got lazy and installed something like 100 package updates all at once 
over the weekend. I believe this was all stuff in stable. Included among 
these updates were a slew of xorg, xfce4, kde, etc stuff. it appears that 
the path for the shared X11 icons has changed, at the least. But 
xfce4/gnome/kde and even gdm are still looking for them in the old places, 
giving rise to lots of errors. I suspect there is a simple, single place 
where i need to fix these path(s), but i can't seem to find it.....hope 
someone can point me in the right direction here.

thanks

Bump. Any suggestions to fix this issue? Has everyone moved onto caos nsa?

Everyone who was helping to maintain XFCE, GNOME, and KDE abandoned
us.  Those who are left don't use any of these things.  Without help,
there's only so much we can do.  :(

AFAIK, the icons are still in /usr/share/pixmaps and /usr/share/icons,
which is the same path as always.  Can you be more specific about the
problems you're having?

Or just use E...I know it works since it's what I use. :)

Thanks KainX....sorry to hear about that. 

Do you guys use GDM? It's also broken and appears not to be able to read 
PNG images. I imagine this is what is going on the Xfce4 and Gnome as 
well.

When GDM tries to load, i get the error

 There was an error loading the theme happygnome:
 Couldn't recognize the image file format for file
 '/usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome/options.png'

However the system does seem to be able to recognize PNG files:

 $ file /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome/options.png 
 /usr/share/gdm/themes/happygnome/options.png: PNG image data, 48 x 48, 
 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced

Made me wonder if i was missing a GTK update or maybe had a problem with 
my rpm. So i downloaded gtk-2.4.13-23.caos.i386.rpm and did rpm -ivh 
--force. This threw an error:

 g_module_open() failed for 
 /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: 
 /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: undefined symbol: deflate

So something is going on there with my PNG support. I do have all the 
libpng packages:

 # rpm -qa | grep libpng
 libpng-1.2.18-1.caos
 libpng10-1.0.17-1
 libpng-devel-1.2.18-1.caos
 libpng10-devel-1.0.17-1

 # rpm -qa --filesbypkg | grep libpng.so
 libpng                    /usr/lib/libpng.so.3
 libpng                    /usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.18
 libpng10                  /usr/lib/libpng.so.2
 libpng10                  /usr/lib/libpng.so.2.1.0.17
 libpng-devel              /usr/lib/libpng.so

I took a look at ld.so.conf to see if there were any paths loading 
alternate libpng.so libraries ahead of /usr/lib, but i don't see anything.

I will probably try reinstalling these with --force as well... will post 
if i find a solution.

Found and fixed.  If you're comfortable with CVS and Mezzanine, you
can checkout a copy of our tree and build it yourself.  Unfortunately
I don't have access to a 32-bit system here, but I'll build you new
packages when I get home.

This was helpful:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1666

Looks like perhaps a bug introduced in one or both of the packages:

 librsvg-gtk-engine-2.12.7-5.caos
 gtk-2.4.13-23.caos

The files:

 /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
 /etc/gtk-2.0/i686-caos-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

both seem to lack definitions for png. Whereas previous versions of these 
files/packages did define png.

Hope this makes this easy to track down.

thanks

At least it wasn't just me. :-)

After installing the forthcoming libpng update, you may have to
reinstall the Gtk etc. packages to regenerate the files it needs.
