Changed behavior of gdk-pixbuf 2.44.5 gives startup error messsage

[fjaell]

• Distribution: CRUX
• Distribution release: 3.8
• Geeqie version: 2.6.1

geegie is using a deprecated API of gdk-pixbuf which leads to several warnings at build time,
for example:

../geeqie-2.6.1/src/layout-image.cc: In function 'gboolean show_next_frame(gpointer)':
../geeqie-2.6.1/src/layout-image.cc:336:46: warning:
'gboolean gdk_pixbuf_animation_iter_advance(GdkPixbufAnimationIter*, const GTimeVal*)' is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
336 | if (gdk_pixbuf_animation_iter_advance(fd->iter,nullptr)==FALSE)

gdk-pixbuf has changed its behavior with version 2.44.5 and we see now the following error message at program start:

$:~> geeqie (geeqie:10170): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:22:46.723: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme. This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

Even though geeqie works as expected.
I saw a similar problem with gvim and reported this as a bug to gdk-pixbuf:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixbuf/-/issues/299

Thanks!

This was fixed (actually suppressed) in 5b2413a.

I'll take a look when this version becomes available in my distro. Not sure if this could be fixed quickly.
