Recent GTK2/gdk updates - nautilus thumbnail corruption

[Øyvind Stegard]

Ah, I found some info on the issue:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130183

Seems like the bug is fixed in gtk-2.4.9. I wonder why 2.4.7 was 
released as an official FC2 update, without the patch which fixes the 
thumbnail problem.

Security over eye-candy, I guess.

If you want your cool nautilus thumbnails back the way they were before,
(and don't mind a few security buffer overflow issues, but really, you 
should) download:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/gtk2-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/gtk2-devel-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-5.0.1.i386.rpm

..and do as root:
rpm --force -Fvh gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-5.0.1.i386.rpm \
gtk2-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm gtk2-devel-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm

..then wait for a new GTK2 update to come along.

Never accept a carefully crafted image file from a stranger :o).

Cheers,
Øyvind
