permits context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
via a malformed image file. (CVE-2007-0010)
The version of libgtk+2.0 shipped with Mandriva Linux 2007 fails

The Home and Desktop entries in the GTK File Chooser are not always
visible (#26644).
GTK+-based applications (which includes all the Mandriva Linux
configuration tools, for example) crash (instead of falling back to the
default theme) when an invalid icon theme is selected. (#27013)

following issues from the GNOME bugzilla:
