I don't know about the original poster but this is not the case
for me.  I just confirmed by wiping my stystem and starting over.
I am using a newer bundle from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtkmm/2.16/
and the problem is the same.

With the above mentioned bundle, I find the gdk-pixbuf.loaders file has
paths like this one (as did the original poster)
"c:/devel/target/ef5505c4734684042571adef150ddfe8/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.dll"
but libpixbufloader-png.dll doesn't exist anywhere on my system.  May
I then conclude that the gtkmm bundle is broken?
