There is now a workaround for this in CVS -- problem here was that his Qt 
wasn't compiled for gif support, so it couldn't load the images.  The channel 
icon loading code was rather dumb and thought that the only way that could 
happen was if it didn't have the files, so it asked the master backend to 
send em the file, and still couldn't load it.  Repeat just about every redraw 
of the EPG.
