The update-gdk-query-pixbuf loaders (from gdk-pixbuf{,-compat32} package) may need some update, apparently gtk+2.0 no longer ships config for multilib (e.g. /etc/gtk-2.0/i?86*.) Related to https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post5297526. Ran into this while investigating why my Steam tray icon suddenly became missing earlier...
Also, it would seem that the update-pango-querymodules script is gone now in pango-1.40?

Isn't this issue specific to a multilib setting? Then it doesn't fit in this thread as far as I understand its aim, as stock Slackware is not multilib.

Well the `update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders` script is in the slackware64-current source itself: http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwa...pixbuf-loaders, which does check for multilib, despite what you say. It just likely needs an small update since the path checking has bit-rot.

The script does check for multilib, yes. However, this has no consequence on a stock Slackware installation that includes either gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-32 or gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-64 but not both, that's what I really meant.
That being said I do not object to patching update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders as suggested by Sébastien if that helps people running multilib and doesn't hurt others. Anyway I am not the decider here

Reason: s/don't hurt/doesn't hurt/
Appears to build without issue, but the slackbuild will need minor tweaking because some of the doc files that get copied to /usr/doc no longer exist in 4.4.
I changed this:
COPYING* HACKING HINTS LIST NEWS* README* TODO docs/help-system.html
to this:
COPYING* NEWS* README* docs/help-system.html
Thanks for the heads-up. Joe's an old friend who I worked with on my first paid Linux trip over 20 years ago.

I tend to avoid making changes like this, because a few missing doc files when the SlackBuild runs cp is harmless, but dropping things from the list makes it more likely that they'll be dropped from the package if they ever return in a future version.
