All the icon themes should be identified as runtime dependencies,

7.10, and am only now trying to work on "appearance" issues in bare
fluxbox, deciding on things like icons and themes and hoping it's
not too late. Firefox is also missing a few icons.)
Icons should all be runtime. I can't think of a reason why they
wouldn't be. It really does not matter whether they are done before
or after the individual packages.
I didn't *think* so either, but OTOH AIUI GTK has a compiled-in default
theme. Can "runtime" be added to the book, just in the interests of
clarity for newbies, and some of the rest of us?
Patches accepted.
I've run into the missing icons issue too. It does depend on the
theme to some extent. The easy thing to do is to just add all the
icon packages.
In the interest of clarity and consistency, I'm thinking it would be
good to be able to separate themes, thinking of /usr/local/share, but I
don't know where I can configure GTK 2&3 where to look for icons.
Symlinks could be a headache.
Most are in /usr/share/{themes,icons} but their use is fairly complex. I
only understand it superficially myself. If someone wants to write a hint
that details how all that works, it would be helpful.
