I've noticed the same things with gnome's gtk-update-icon-cache so
personally I've held libpng to the old version and reverted it, I'm
not sure if the new gnome beta has everything working with libpng
1.2.19 but yeah I wouldn't mind if we reverted the update of libpng
until other things started working with it
