Huh, I didn't even know SDL_image _claimed_ to support XCF until just now.
However, the docs say:

XCF
    GIMP native (.xcf) (XCF = eXperimental Computing Facility?)

    This format is always changing, and since there's no library
    supplied by the GIMP project to load XCF, the loader may frequently
    fail to load much of any image from an XCF file. It's better to load
    this in GIMP and convert to a better supported image format.


So I suppose I'm not surprised to hear it's _not_ working. :^)
(GIMP folks haven't made a libxcf for everyone else to use?  Shame shame ;) )

-bill!
