Re: [GNC] Gnucash.exe bootstrap error, image-missing.png: Unrecognized image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3)

[John Ralls]

Failing to load an icon is unlikely to cause GnuCash to quit or crash and IIRC 
there’s one that was removed from awaita but still referenced by Gtk, hence 
that error message. Try starting under gdb and setting a breakpoint on exit() 
to get a backtrace of where it’s really quitting or crashing.

Regards,
John Ralls
