I don't know if this is the same thing, but on my system (32bit intel, 
CentOS-4.5) it seems that NO images are displaying with the Cairo backend at 
present.
I don't know how long this has been the case for, since I've been concentrating 
exclusively on base for the last few weeks, and haven't updated gui/back at all 
(indeed it's possible that a system update has changed the underlying cairo 
library or something similar without me noticing since last time I was playing 
with gui).

I did think I might have broken proxying in some way (though all the base 
regression tests still pass) with all the changes I've been making, but if I 
use the art backend, images display as normal.  I guess the problem could be 
some change in base anyway, if the cairo backend depends on something which art 
doesn't.

The following 'ls' command might tell you something (it doesn't enlighten me at 
all)...

$ ls /usr/lib/*cair*
/usr/lib/libcairo.so        /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so
/usr/lib/libcairo.so.2      /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libcairo.so.2.9.2  /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.1400.9
