I just built xfce4 from freshly checkedout cvs.  Everything built fine, 
and i've got the following entries at the bottom of my .xinitrc:
xfce-mcs-manager
xfwm4
xfce4 &
xfbd4
xfmouse4
exec xfdeskmenu

However when i try to use it (with KDM) nothing happens (i'm left 
sitting at a blank screen).  Looking in ~/.xsession-errors, i see the 
following:
** Message: scanning /home/netllama/.xfce4/settings/plugins/...

loader module file '/usr/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders': No such file 
or directory

I don't have /usr/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders anywhere on my box, 
athough i do have /usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/ with alot of 
various files.  Any suggestions on what may be wrong here?

thanks!
