One small note.  I can confirm the defect -- I had just upgraded a colleague's IA-32 laptop workstation, and the entire desktop lost all icons (the user lives by icons and cannot effectively use a scrolling terminal without written key stroke instructions for each command, including return/enter keystrokes).  However, I had installed both
librsvg2 and the -devel version, both of which automatically upgraded to the defective release.  I had to manually rpm -e of the -devel version before yum would allow the downgrade. After the downgrade, the window manager interface seems to be working.  I did attempt to use KDE instead of gnome (this being a login choice from a button on the login GUI screen), and KDE seemed to work for non-gnome applications, but I did 
not extensively test the proper functioning of KDE.   As this "upgrade" 
automatically was installed on many of our machines, we shall need to manually downgrade a number of machines.  Any ETA on the fixed version that should auto-update?

A separate question.  Unlike Microsoft, TUV EL is supposed to be a production enterprise system.  As this is a major failure of what amounts to a default GUI of EL, does anyone have an idea as to how this defect passed qualification testing prior to production release?  I am not expecting SL to test the functionality of TUV production release updates, but rather the correctness of the port from TUV to SL -- this defect clearly is a TUV issue.

Hi,

I have just upgraded the librsvg2 package to the latest available version.  This immediately solved the problem without the need for a manual rpm -e of the -devel version.  Details below.
