It looks like the problem is happening because your version of GTK does
include a GDK pixbuf loader for SVG files.

You can disable the message by editing the installed backend_gtk.py
(or editing the source file
matplotlib\lib\matplotlib\backends\backend_gtk.py
and reinstalling)
and changing
"verbose.report_error('Could not load matplotlib icon: %s' %
sys.exc_info()[1])"
to 
"verbose.report('Could not load matplotlib icon: %s' %
sys.exc_info()[1])"
or just "pass".

The fix has also been applied to CVS.
