gdk-pixbuf.loaders in gtk+-2.10.7

["Geoff Buchan" <geoffrey buchan gmail com>]

Hi all.

It appears that gtk+-2.10.7 generates a version of the file gdk-pixbuf.loaders which does not contain support for .svg files.

I
built gtk+-2.10.7 from source and tried to install it (a newer GTK+ was
needed so I could build gnome-games from source). After I installed it,
I found that games could not load .svg images, and I traced the problem
to the file gdk-pixbuf.loaders. The copy of the file with the source
distribution for gtk had no entry to handle .svg files. When I compared
with a different machine, I was able to find a version of that file
which did define handling for .svg, so in the short run I just copied
the file over from the other mahchine. I can now load .svg files
appropriately on my box, but I wonder whether there's some reason
(other than oversight) that the default build of gtk+ doesn't handle
svg files. 

I'm not suscribed to the list, so please cc me on any replies; and if
this doesn't belong on the dev list, please accept my apologies, but I
would appreciate any feedback as to where I should as such questions.

Thanks,

Geoff
