If GTK+ applications have the icons, then ReText will have them too (as one of its backends for searching icons is using GTK+). For Qt applications things are much worse — I am quite sure that any Qt application that doesn't embed the icons with itself will not find the icon theme on your environment, just like ReText did. > So I guess the best way would be to fallback on a default set of icons, Shipping a subset of some icon theme with ReText package is definitely not a Debian way of doing things. Also I cannot add a dependency on any icon theme because any other can be used (and we don't have a virtual package that any icon theme would satisfy). > or at least have text on the buttons (expecting people to loop on buttons > to read the tooltips…). I have looked at Qt API and there is no easy way to do this. Also, this has a potential to hide the real bug where people will see the labels and think that it's by design. What I can do is add suggestions for packages needed for GSettings icon theme resolver to work. Done that in SVN. -- Dmitry Shachnev
