Re: Gdk-pixbuf2 XPM Not Supported After Upgrade
Upon further investigation, this could be a problem in glycin. The following is in the system journel for the crash:

Re: Gdk-pixbuf2 XPM Not Supported After Upgrade
There's a fix on gdk-pixbuf master that seems like it will solve the XPM errors: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixb … quests/267

Re: Gdk-pixbuf2 XPM Not Supported After Upgrade
Currently unsure about the state of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixb … quests/267
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … ug=1132565 suggests it will fix the condition, but xpm-legacy is still disabled by default ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixbuf/-/issues/306
Needs patch AND -Dlegacy_xpm=enabled for fix
