[Solved] PuTTY and gdk-pixbuf2: Part 2

After a gdk-pixbuf2 update some time ago (gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.1-3 -> gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.1-4) puTTY suddenly took 2 seconds to start (created by 2202 file operations on "/tmp/gdk-pixbuf-glycin-tmp.XXXXXX").

As a workaround I started puTTY with a copy of the older library (via "LD_LIBRARY_PATH").

I checked on the startup behavior of the "normal" puTTY from time to time. gdk-pixbuf2 update 2.44.4 seemed to have resolved the old issue.

With gdk-pixbuf2 update 2.44.5 and later puTTY now shows a new behavior: The terminal windows stays completely blank. The SSH server registers the connection. Downgrading gdk-pixbuf2 to 2.44.4 or starting puTTY with this version mitigates this behavior.

At least 2.44.6 broke XPM/XBM => https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=313014
2.44.6 might be the version where XPM was (ultimately "not") handled by glycin.
In doubt strace -f will tell you whether there's any effort to load an XPM

Looks like you're right:

followed by three more instances of these errors.
