Well, the error is not very verbose. But anyway:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.icons/ElementaryUbuntu$ gtk-update-icon-cache -f .
gtk-update-icon-cache: The generated cache was invalid

Maybe GNOME/GTK+ should have a way to discover if a theme is not valid,
and not allow to use it. Some themes are really incomplete, and people
use them, and bugs are reported against applications, when the bug is
the theme itself. I think being more restrictive about which themes can
be used in GNOME would be a good idea.

I'm not sure if it's a bug of gtk-update-icon-cache, because it doesn't
say too much about the error, but i think the problem is the theme.

Yes, I realized... it's a same we allow bad themes!

Thanks!
