Either the image file is corrupt, or the library is broken for loading png.
Two things you can check
1/ open "/usr/share/zim/pixmaps/attachment.png" with an image viewer, see
if it looks alright (small paperclip icon)
2/ run the following python code from a terminal:
$ python
>>> import gtk
>>> gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file("/usr/share/zim/pixmaps/attachment.png")
<gtk.gdk.Pixbuf object at 0xb743d66c (GdkPixbuf at 0xa3b3650)>
If you get the last line as output, library is fine loading the file.
If this code it gives the error as well, it shows in a easy reproducible
test the library is broken.
(Maybe verify with another png image to exclude some weirdness with this
particular image)

Jaap
