MATE not recognising SVG files?

[Jonathan Chen]

Hi,

I recently install x11/mate on a new host, and the caja file browser
doesn't seem to be recognising SVG files. In fact, MATE's file-chooser
dialog doesn't appear to be previewing SVG files either. I know that
at one point in time it did, and I've spent a bit of time trying to
figure out why it doesn't do it now. So far, I _think_ it's due to
graphics/cairo, which is reporting:

[...]
cairo (version 1.15.12 [snapshot]) will be compiled with:
...
And the following internal features:
  pthread:       yes
  gtk-doc:       no
  gcov support:  no
  symbol-lookup: no (requires bfd)
  test surfaces: no (disabled, use --enable-test-surfaces to enable)
  ps testing:    no (requires libspectre)
  pdf testing:   no (requires poppler-glib >= 0.17.4)
  svg testing:   no (requires librsvg-2.0 >= 2.35.0)

If I include graphics/librsvg2 into the cairo's Makefile, I get a
circular dependency complaint, and the build aborts.

Am I looking at the right place? Any pointers on why SVG recognition
is failing? graphics/librsvg2 is currently installed on the system as
a runtime requirement from x11-toolkits/gtk30

Any pointers welcome.
