Hi,

I've been looking into the libpng problems people have been reporting (e.g. 
#4060) and tried to upgrade 1.16.1 to fix those. Long story short, 1.16.1 
doesn't fix them. I'm currently using weston as a testbed and was able to 
narrow the problems with weston down to:

        cairo_surface_t *surface = cairo_image_surface_create_from_png(icon);

with ends up as:

        ERROR loading icon from file 
'/usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/apps/utilities-terminal.png', error: 'out of 
memory' 

Reverting the 1.6.0 update and rebuilding cairo against 1.5.x makes it work, no 
errors in the log and I get window decorations instead of white squares. I'll 
see if I can get libpng-1.7.0beta07.tar.gz to build today, but I can't spend 
much time on that.

All in all I'd recommend adding back the 1.5.x recipe and D_P -1'ing the 1.6.x 
recipe. Thanks to shlib renaming the resulting libpng packages are parallel 
installable and PRSERV takes care of bumping affected recipes/packages. 
Switching to 1.5.x "just works" if you have this patch:
