Also have a look at; http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496125My bad, should be downgrade to 2.6.27.dfsg-2.I downgraded, but I'm still having the same problem with the themes app in gnome (I can't change theme). I checked out the bug report, but the fix requires me to start using unstable, and I'm not comfortable enough (and don't have the time in the short term to research) with pinning to try and 'mix' my etch sources.Anything I missed?Perhaps this is the problem:http://groups.google.com/group/alt.os.linux.debian/browse_thread/thread/331c0b7d119affec#
Yes that's probably everything the same problem, bug 496125.ZephyrQ: Are you *really* sure that you're running the previous libxml2 now? What is dpkg -l libxml2 showing now?
Also: try to create a new user from the console ("adduser foo") and log into that one, since the default theme of Gnome does not run into the problem (at least not on Lenny).
Also, note that even if you don't manage to downgrade libxml2, you could rebuild librsvg2 instead (which is, depending on viewpoint, the real culprit here). "apt-get source librsvg; cd librsvg-*; dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b -r'fakeroot -u'" then install the resulting librsvg*.deb's with "dpkg -i" (well, at least those which you currently have installed, you could check with dpkg -l "librsvg*").
