A number of applications place icons in
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/. Unfortunatly, the index.theme
file in specifies that icons in this folder be ignored.
Changing the line: Hidden=true To: Hidden=false Corrects this issue. At least VLC and Banshee are affected by this problem. I would assume that KDE is affected by this issue also. |
cause vlc and banshee work fine for me... i guess it is a bug in the theme
The thing that's buggy here is that we use a cache file for the hicolor theme (we should do this for gnome theme too). Whenever some application installs new icons in /usr/share/icons/hicolor, the gtk-update-icon-cache program has to be run over the icon theme directory to get the cache updated. Without this, GTK applications will look in the icon cache, take a guess at that the icon isn't available and don't display it at all. This has been fixed for vlc in testing.
Be aware that this also affects the Banshee package.
Thanks for your help.
