Ah OK, that's where I was going (slowly!) with my "is it FF or IE?" question. :-)
same thing happened to me a year back.

Thanks, all. I forgot that I had set a default picture, which no longer exists in the original location. Where I was getting the "username's picture' it was because of an empty <img> tag. FF just displayed the link, but I finally saw in IE the broken img icon. So I was right the first time: I test on $picture, and it works when there -really- isn't a picture.
Sorry to waste your time.

Take a look at theme_user_picture (http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme_user_picture/5).
Overriding it may be your answer. Changing it will change the way the user picture is output everywhere on your site, it may not be exactly what you need.
Another potential strategy is doing something like as follows (warning, I haven't thought this completely through and I haven't used Zen): In the Zen template preprocessor function, put in something like this: global $user: if ($user->picture) { $vars['width-css-class'] = 'has-picture'; } else { $vars['width-css-class'] = 'no-picture'; $vars['picture'] = ''; // This is example and might not be the correct value for the picture }
The in your template.php you can do something like:
<?php if ($picture): ?>
<div class="picture"><?php print $picture ?></div> <?php endif; ?> <div class="<?php print $width-css-class ?>"> The content stuff </div>

Thanks, yes. I assumed that step. To clarify: I have pictures enabled and they show in my templates. But where no picture exists, because the user has not uploaded one, I have a link that reads "username's picture". I not only want to remove that link but I want to adjust the layout to compensate for the lack of a picture.

You didn't mention turning on Picture Support in user settings. To do so go to Adminster | User management | User settings (/admin/user/settings) and scroll down to the "Picture support" section. This is where you select you default picture, as well.

I'm using Drupal five, building a theme off of Zen. I want to optionally display a user's picture in posts, so that if the user has uploaded a picture then it is displayed, and if not then the teaser view shifts left to occupy that space.
So I turned on pictures in the theme configuration. But now, where there is no picture available, I have a "soandso's picture" link.
Specifically: I want if( $picture ){...} in the .tpl.php file to evaluate to FALSE if there is no picture, TRUE if there is one. How can I get this behavior? Is there a theme override that I'm missing?
