I'll see if we can find a fix for kterm, there's a chance the same fix can do the trick for the other apps.
search /lib and /usr/lib for libpng*
you should find a libpng16* there
if it is a sym-link, find the file it points to
then: ln -s <whatever name> libpng12.so (in the same directory)
then: try kterm again

Note:
ELF symbols are versioned, and the '16' library **should** include the '12' symbols.
**should**

If not, we need to pull the '12' library out of an Amazon Update_*.bin file (with KindleTool) and add it /lib (or /usr/lib) as the case may be.

What we really need here, are a few people with the time to look into the various technical problems that keep showing up.
Myself, I hardly find enough free time to feed myself.
