applied changes from 6cf1aee8ac5e3c836af832eaf26ccedd611dc70b through e802003adbf0be4496de3de8ac03b47c1e471d00 Original commit message: Start looking at the GError parameter every time we call these functions: - gdk_pixbuf_loader_write - gdk_pixbuf_loader_close - gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file - gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size - gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale There are times when gdkpixbuf returns a semi-invalid GdkPixbuf object and also sets the GError. If this happens we want to discard and ignore the GdkPixbuf object because it can cause problems. For example, calling gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple() causes gdkpixbuf to rapidly consume memory in an infinite loop. And that's bad. This commit adds some helper functions to gtkutils.[c|h] that make it a little easier to check the GError value. We should use them everywhere we call any of the above functions.
