When you update Python, you need to rebuild all python AUR packages, including Ulauncher.

@bnjbvr, @arekan127, @hex32211 @JohnPiers I think you all have been having issues with a how Arch handles Python upgrades, which is not an issue created by Ulauncher, but it's pinned here: https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/issues/930
After a full system upgrade ulauncher fails to start with the following error: ''' Could not load image /usr/share/ulauncher/media/gear.svg. E: gdk-pixbuf-error-quark: Couldn’t recognise the image file format for file “/usr/share/ulauncher/media/gear.svg . . . File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ulauncher/ui/windows/UlauncherWindow.py", line 393, in _render_prefs_icon surface = Gdk.cairo_surface_create_from_pixbuf(prefs_pixbuf, scale_factor, self.get_window()) '''
I've also been struggling with Ulauncher for about two weeks now. managed to get it sorted after a huge mission and then this morning there was a bump in version and it installed without any problems and Ulauncher not giving problems and working as expected.

Hope this helps.
python setup.py > python3.11 setup.py in PKGBUILD workaround works, but this is really strange why python setup.py uses lib directory of 3.10
Hi! This was broken, as of today, on my machine: turns out for some reason, the lib is installed in /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages, when my python interpreter is on version 3.11, so the package couldn't be found. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling this, and it didn't help unfortunately; not sure what I'm doing wrong.
A workaround I've found was to force the PROJECT_ROOT_DIRECTORY variable to the above directory in the /usr/bin/ulauncher script.
@friday I followed the instructions from that link, i.e., paru -S ulauncher --rebuild, but I still get the same error.
I removed the AUR package, clone the repo and compiled from there, but still get the same error.
@nunonun you need https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/python-cairo, but that's already declared as a dependency. So it's your system that's broken. See: https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/issues/930#issuecomment-993434467
