problem: gqview needs gdk-pixbuf.loaders

The package gqview seems to require the file /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders in order to render pictures, which is the primary function of the package.  It turns out that the output of /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders, which is owned by gtk2 --- a dependency of gqview, is what is needed for the gdk-pixbuf.loaders file.

I believe that this portion of code will work in gqview.install:

post_install()
{
   if [ ! -d /etc/gtk-2.0/ ] then
     mkdir /etc/gtk-2.0
   fi

   if [! -e /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders ] then
     /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
   fi
   /bin/true
}

Sweet, now I can play with myself.
