I think Thunar still has a run-time dependency on gnome-icon-theme -
it's just not checked for in the configure script. For example, try
renaming /usr/share/icons/gnome and then trying to view a folder as
icons. Jannis's commit message seems to be about replacing some icons
which *used* to be in g-i-t with his own copies, not about dropping
g-i-t altogether. (At least, that's how I read it.)

I suppose it could use any icon theme that has a similar icon set, be it
gnome, adwaita, oxygen, etc icon theme. I remember using
tango-icon-theme with Xfce4 in the past too.
OK, I've just repeated my test with adwaita installed, with the same
results, i.e. Thunar is missing icons if it can't find gnome-icon-theme
- also, xfce-settings is missing some icons, which I hadn't noticed
before. If Thunar (and xfce-settings) are OK with tango or oxygen, then
perhaps adwaita is the problem, e.g. it is not compatible with gtk+2.

I believe in GNOME environment, Nautilus (the GNOME file manager) uses
symbolic icons, while Thunar doesn't. My guess is that some icons were
imported as symbolic ones, ommiting non-symbolic ones and that's why
Thunar can't find them.
Thank you both for this discussion. It made me think more about this
subject.
I see no compelling urgency for archiving the gnome-icon packages, they
do not need maintenance, and if they did, they are not difficult
packages. Unless we would add ti the book another alternative that would
really be agreed by all as pleasant and good enough to replace, them, I
think we should just *leave them in the book*.
David, thanks for taking the time experimenting, and sorry for the troubles.
