Upgraded to the new release of 9.0 and I still get the identical
problem on /both/ machines; the common thread in both machines is
that they were both Mandrake 8.2 upgraded to 9.0RC1 and from there
to 9.0-release. Unfortunately I do not have a spare machine to
determin if this is due to an upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0, or if some
faulty RPM install scripts in 9.0RC1 had corrupted just this very
specific part of gnome and the official release has not corrected
it.
xscreensaver-getimage fails on loading the jpegs with the following
error:
xscreensaver-getimage: loading "/mnt/disk2/pub/photos/Kodak/2002-06-13/dcp_0001.jpg"
(process:15335): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:1806: initialization assertion

(process:15335): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 585 (g_object_new):
assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
I get the same error regardless of the -visual setting; all data is
identical to what I had reported before for 9.0RC1
the core file still backtraces the same failure point:
