I am currently working on a fix for the gtk2-bug
http://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=3775:
 "Package should create /opt/csw/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders"
 http://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=3775

What I have done now is setting it up on postinstall like pango.
However, on Solaris 8 it will try to query 64 bit too, which fails.
If you now share this to Solaris 10 you will end up without pixbuf
loaders. Would you consider it to be ok to skip this step on
Solaris 8?

Or could the pixbuffers be queried during package creation statically?
That would also eliminate the ugly (and slow) postinstall.
