recent files icon loading fix

[James Henstridge <james jamesh id au>]

I recently checked in a fix to the image loading routine in the libegg 
recent files code, as detailed here:
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153621

The change speeds up loading of SVG icons.  Previously, 
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file() was being used to load the image, causing the 
SVG to render at its default size which would then need to be scaled to 
the desired size.

After the patch, gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size() is used which 
provides a size hint to the loader backend, so the image is rendered at 
the correct size to start with.

Since this is an optimisation, and not all apps use the icon loading 
code in the recent files code (I know the panel does though), it isn't 
critical that all apps pull in the update immediately but it would be 
good to do so in the future.

There are other places in Gnome that can be changed to use 
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size() to speed up loading of SVG icons, so 
it might be worth checking similar code.  I found a few similar problems 
in the panel code, which I've bugzilla'd.

James.
