Elementary has icons for most of the missing names, but only as .svg - and it inherits gnome,hicolor.
At that point, I wasn't sure if I could use svg icons [ getting confused by something else I'm doing! ] so I googled for some of the other missing icons : turns out several of them are symlinks, installed by gnome-icon-theme. I had another look at what was installed by gnome and they *are* there as .png. Tried setting the theme to gnome, and then GNOME, no change. Installed elementary anyway, ran gtk-update-icon-cache, changed the theme to elementary. Still no joy. During that google session, I found a recent thread for some embedded distro talking about these missing icons, not found even after they were copied into a theme, and segfaults (on arm, I think). I suspect a bug in 0.4.6's icon handling. It is usable with the '[x]' missing-icon icons, and provides tooltips in English - for me that is adequate for the moment. There is a maybe-related bug (at launchpad!) marked as low priority, I get the impression that using commonly-installed icons is not a design priority. Giving up on this one for now. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
