Apologies for the imprecise subject everyone - will remember for next time.

I've tried the various suggestions from David, for which many thanks, 
but saw no improvement. The outputs from the commands were as follows:

rpm --verify gtk2
No output or errors returned. Command returned code 0.

Is this showing errors? I don't know. What output should I expect from 
this command?

/sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.gtk2
No output or error returned. Command returned code 0

I still get the pixbuf errors. However, I cannot see any associated 
problems when using the various applications - they all appear to be 
running correctly.

Sorry if I'm appearing obtuse or missing something obvious here, but I'm 
definitely not a programmer and don't really understand how GTK fits 
into the Gnome/Application structure. For example, do I still need any 
GTK1 files if I have GTK2 installed? Would having both installed cause 
problems?

Any help or pointers very welcome,
Thanks
