Andre's suggestion is good, there can be incompatibilities reading the image files themselves, if your system is predisposed somehow to use a wrong version of GTK? Something like that.
If you can eliminate that as a source of trouble it would be good. If the locations are truly correct then, someone smarter than me will have to lend a hand. FWIW, most people don't have this trouble. It is not a regular topic for discussion. So there is some likelihood it is related to your particular installation.
