29 But I am afraid that I'm not capable of fixing it myself due to my
30 familiarity with Gentoo and debuging a program.Tried to downgrade libpng &
31 cairo today but no luck.The downgrade seems to result in a slot,caused by
32 kdelibs and other packages dependencies & I doubt whether it is a
33 solution.I've here got the snapshot of the infomation got after masking
34 libpng-1.6.1 & cairo-1.12.14.Hell No!
