Yes...I read that thread and unfortunately I cannot find those files:

gtk+2.12.x/gdk-pixbuf/io-jpeg.c
pan-0.132/pan/gui/body-pane.cc

May be because there are differences between distros? Although I am not afraid
of the CLI, am not a programmer and not sure how to apply said patch. Am running
Sabayonlinux 3.4f, a Gentoo based distro. I see a lot of files in /usr/lib/ with
the .so extension. Not sure if this io-jpeg.c file exists or that patch will
work for a Gentoo box.

I found these files:

/etc/gtk-2.0/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
/etc/gtk-2.0/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders
/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders32
/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-csource

But see nothing in them with "JPEG_PROG_BUF_SIZE 65536". Any guidance would be
appreciated. Thnx.
