hi, I got the same problem while running beta6 with GTK+-2.6.0. After a little bit debugging, it turns out that in function gaim_gtk_convert_buddy_icon, it used a new argument format for API gdk_pixbuf_save. Since such changes is introduced by rev. 13036 in GDK ( http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gtk%2B/trunk/gdk-pixbuf/io-png.c?view=diff&r1=13035&r2=13036), which is included in GTK_2_6_8, created by rev. 13197. So my patch is just to check if it is using a old version of GTK+ (older than 2.6.8), if yes, try the original API format.
The code is tested on GTK+ 2.6.0 and GTK+ 2.6.9 with the image file provided by the bug originator. Your comments will be highly appreciated! Thanks, Neo -- I would remember that if researchers were not ambitious probably today we haven't the technology we are using!
