Aha,

gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

Seemed to fix the problem.  I'll have to add that command to my RPM packages.

I'm rapidly getting out of my comfort zone though, as I have no idea
what that command is, or why I needed it.  Can anyone recommend any
good books or online resources that would help me understand more
about this stuff?

Thanks,
Joe
