thanks

After some digging, I found out that svg image with long comments at
the beginning can not show itself on  gtk widgets, is because glib reports
the wrong mimetype 'application/xml' instead of 'application/svg+xml',
so the pixbufloader can not find the correct svg_loader.

here's the testing code I used:

-----------------------------------------------------------
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <glib/gprintf.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main(){
        FILE *f;
        guchar buffer [1024];
        gboolean uncertain;
        gchar *mime_type;
        guint size;
        const char *filename = "emacs23.svg";
        f = g_fopen (filename, "rb");
        if ( f == -1) {
                        g_printf("open failed %s \n",g_strerror(errno));
                        return 1;
        }
        size = fread (&buffer, 1, sizeof (buffer), f);
        if(size == 0){
                        g_printf("No image data");
        }
        mime_type = g_content_type_guess (NULL, buffer, size, &uncertain);
        if (uncertain)
                        mime_type = g_content_type_guess (filename, buffer, 
size, NULL);

        g_printf("%s \n", mime_type);
}
-----------------------------------------------------------

here it returns 'application/xml'  with uncertain  set to false.
with an offset of 256 in the svg section of freedesktop.org.xml  is
 too small, I think  increasing it to  1024 is reasonable.

to update the mime cache we have to run:
   update-mime-database  /usr/share/mime after changing freedesktop.org.xml
