Normally, that means you have a hosed installation. The error indicates that
you're missing the ImageKit executable or that
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/ is
missing. Reinstall the 10.5.2 COMBO and Graphics updates, repair permissions,
and see if that fixes the problem.

On my machine, with both updates installed, these Teerminal commands show:
