I'll take a look when I get back home, but I suspect I haven't an older
version either. I use kde, not gnome.

The last patch I sent includes what I believe to be a better fallback -- a
try/except around the icon loading code. No matter how many secondary icon
names you have, someday they will all be missing. And of course, the
failover to an alternate icon wouldn't solve the problem of cover art with
an unrecognized format.

This is what I got first, and worked around by eating the exception from
loading 'applications-internet'.
> gobject.GError - Unrecognized image file format
After doing that, it progressed to another channel, which caused this
error. That's why I determined to move the try/except around the whole icon
assignment block.
