Please describe the problem:
I've noticed this in several applications recently (gnome-about-me, pidgin, evolution-contacts).  If I try to change my image I get a popup allowing me to select a file.  Selecting a small image works but selecting a large (color) one fails (In evolution's contact editor, I get a query the the image is large and should it be resized).  What happens is that the top 1/5-1/10'th of the image looks right, while the rest is dark.

Two images that work are black & white, 19242 (JPG) and  98620 (GIF) bytes long.

One that doen't work is color 379735 (JPG) bytes long.


Steps to reproduce:
1. System->Preferences->About Me
2. double click on the image
3. in the select file popup choose a new image.

Does this happen every time?
yes


Other information:
I'm following garnome's svn trunk.  My base system has GNOME-2.6 installed and things work properly here.
