dino99,

I won't argue about dependency issues; that may well be the case. In
fact, the "libgdk-pixbuf2-dev" package wasn't installed on my Xubuntu
system either.

I will add that the problem is not specific to Xubuntu, though. I found
reports about it under Debian and ArchLinux as well.

Also, it must have been known for quite a long time to the Slackware
team, since they have the following code fragment in their
"/etc/rc.d/rc.M" script, which is executed upon each boot:

---<cut>----------
if [ -x /usr/bin/update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders ]; then
  /usr/bin/update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders --verbose
fi
---<tuc>----------

When this is executed, the following output is produced:

---<cut>----------
Updating gdk-pixbuf.loaders for x86_64-slackware-linux:
  /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-64 --update-cache
---<tuc>----------

That is, obviously, one way to circumvent the problem: rerun the command
upon each boot...
