Wenton's Commodore Emulator Page

There is a pretty nice emulator out there for the Commodore computers called ViCE.
One thing I ran across running th eemulator in Linux: the GTK stuff was chocking really badly (wouldn't even load):
Error - Failed to obtain pixbuf for C64.svg, Error: Unrecognized image file format using GTK3 backend: OpenGL (x64:2589): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:49:50.747: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme. This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found. ** Gtk:ERROR:../gtk/gtkiconhelper.c:494:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to load /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/16x16/status/image-missing.png: Unrecognized image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3) Bail out! Gtk:ERROR:../gtk/gtkiconhelper.c:494:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to load /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/16x16/status/image-missing.png: Unrecognized image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3) Aborted
The only thing clear about this is that it is GTK that is choking. Slackware is not Gnome-friendly any more, so it's disappointing but not surprising that it doesn't really configure GTK correctly. This seemes to do the trick, though:
