I had a plain Ubuntu 12.10 install to a blank disk (but kept my home directory) that was showing this same problem - no folder icons in Thunar.
What fixed it for me was reinstalling: gnome-icon-theme (3.6.0-0ubuntu2) libxml-sax-base-perl (1.07-1) libxml-sax-perl (0.99+dfsg-2ubuntu1) And installing: gnome-icon-theme (3.6.0-0ubuntu2) libxml-sax-base-perl (1.07-1) libxml-sax-perl (0.99+dfsg-2ubuntu1) Not sure which was necessary or sufficient. I did this in Synaptic, but the command-line way should be: apt-get install --reinstall gnome-icon-theme libxml-sax-base-perl libxml-sax-perl gnome-icon-theme libxml-sax-base-perl libxml-sax-perl Cheers, Greg Bell SunEnergy Apps http://sunenergyapps.com -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Thunar-missing-folder-icons-tp5772612p5775906.html Sent from the freebsd-xfce mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ freebsd-xfce@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xfce To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-xfce-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
