]]>When I tried it with cairo-tee I found it does not exist anymore at the repositories, so I guessed I could try installing cairo... finally it asked to replace cairo-tee and now everything works fine.
I have to say I did a Syu today before trying any of this... so I find strange that pacman -Syu hadn't found by itself that it should have replaced cairo-tee with cairo.
Just thought about telling (a part of) my story in case it is of use to someone else or it can help fix something with the upgrades.
Cheers.

]]>Thanks. I see this..
I am not an Arch noob, but this is over my head. How do I recompile cairo-xcb? Do I use ABS?
Exact same way as you installed it in the first place. (unless you used [archlinuxfr], which you should not use, because it is always full of outdated and broken stuff)

As for vim/gvim, just -Syu from an up to date mirror and gvim will work just fine, after you have rebuilt cairo-xcb.

If I switch to gnome, I get an identical error:
"gnome-session: error while loading shared libraries: libpng14.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."
When I first attempted to open vim, I also received the same error:
"vim: error while loading shared libraries: libpng14.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."
but was able to fix vim it by uninstalling gvim and installing vim. An uninstall/install for awesome did not help.
