gtk 2.17.5 has no png loader built on amd64 which breaks icons

(10:22:07 PM) seb128_: BUGabundo, ok, the amd64 build lacks the png loader for some reason

I've no amd64 configuration to track the issue though, anybody could give it a try?

Just a me too. After the latest apt-get dist-upgrade gnome is in very bad shape; unable to load png icons. This causes many applications to fail (like network manager), gnome-wm doesn't work etc. The top and bottom bars (gnome-panel at the top and window list at the bottom) are flickering madly.

Many apps fail to launch as a result. For instance, when I attempt to run mysql-query-browser:

(mysql-query-browser:5523): libglade-WARNING **: Error loading image: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/mysql-gui-tools/common/options_general.png'

Broken for me, too. I see the same as Jarkko.

the issue is fixed with the next revision rebuild

Downloading and installing gtk+2.0 version 2.17.5-0ubuntu2 for amd64 fixes this issue. (It would be nice if launchpad could provide "Download all" link ;)
