Gentoo users: libpng 1.2.30 faulty

Hi Gentoo users

I f you are using the unstable branch (~x86 or ~amd64) of Gentoo and have recently updated you might notice icons missing and certain backgrounds confusing your screen. The culprit is a faulty (~)libpng-1.2.30. Mask it by adding >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.30 in your /etc/portage/package.mask file and run "emerge -DuNav world" to revert back to (~)libpng-1.2.27 that works.

On the other hand, if you are using the stable branch you will use libpng-1.2.26-r1 that works fine and you'll have nothing to worry about.
