Description: After installing an "education" application
(such as "stellarium", from extra) it shows up onder the
Xfce menu category "Education", which the file
/usr/share/desktop-categories/xfce-education.directory describes as being represented by the icon "applications-education". There is however no such icon available on an arch linux system -- at least not with only all the usual stuff installed. I have: [rene@e600 ~]$ pacman -Q | grep icon gnome-icon-theme 3.0.0-2 gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.0.0-1 gtk-update-icon-cache 2.24.6-2 hicolor-icon-theme 0.12-1 icon-naming-utils 0.8.90-2 tango-icon-theme 0.8.90-2 I've changed the Icon entry in the above directory file to "applications-science" which works for me. I guess this might be an upstream issue -- but if so I hope that someone who knows which upstream to contact where and how can get it there. I haven't a clue how all this icon theme stuff is supposed to interact. |

Given that neither the gnome nor the Tango icon-theme package supplies an applications-education icon, the right answer MIGHT indeed be to change the entry in the garcon desktop-directory file, but in principle it seems to be an issue that's up to the distribution.
Clearly a bit of overkill to install an entire icon theme for just the one icon but it would seem to be an argument as to the question of who is supposed to provide what.
