it could be the esvg loader is failing to load the svg you want to see, but the
svg test passes. the svg test loads a simple svg file when e starts to check e
can load svg's - if this load files then e will complain (but keep working)
that svg loading does't work. this test svg is:

$PREFIX/share/enlightenment/data/images/test.svg

try set this as your svg icon for whatever app it is - if this works, then it's
an issue specifically with the svg you are trying to view. esvg doesn't like it
for some reason. why requires specific testing of THAT image.

as an alternative you can use evas_generic_loaders that includes the old rsvg
svg loader, and now won't crash E anymore, and thus e will fall back to
evas_geneeric loaders to load svg.
