Xscreensaver not loading pictures

On my build, when I run a xscreensaver hack that involves displaying pictures from disk, it only shows a checkerboard background.

When I run xscreensaver-demo from the console and select a saver that displays a picture, I get these errors:

(xscreensaver-demo:1425): libglade-WARNING **: Could not load support for `gnome': libgnome.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
xscreensaver-getimage: symbol lookup error: xscreensaver-getimage: undefined symbol: gdk_pixbuf_xlib_init_with_depth

It looks like libgnome.so went missing after a recent system update, what can I do?
