Sorry, I didn't see any contradiction in the above. Icons and
gnome-icon-theme are totally unrelated, gnome-icon-theme does not
provide icons for the apps, they should provide their own (at least
in the gnome world) or they use a standard icon (tango or fdo, I
don't know, I'm not a theme expert).
If you don't understand. An example. I installed: "gedit" which I
note installs an icon: "gedit-icon" which it doesn't use into:
"$GNOME/share/pixmaps" perhaps for some sort of backwards
compatibility. IAC, the: "gedit.desktop" file specifies:
Icon=text-editor
Gedit should not install any app icon. If it does, it's a bug that
has been fixed since. Gedit is intended to use the standard
"text-editor" icon, provided by any theme.
Absolutely correct!
I don't know if it's tango-specific or not anyway, but these icons
with these name are intended to always be available, no matter what
theme is actually used.
The problem is that there isn't a HiColor icon: "text-editor" since
GNOME doesn't install it.
If HiColor is where app icons are to be installed and GNOME doesn't
install the app icon: "text-editor" in HiColor, isn't that an inconsistency?
KDE, or other DeskTop, isn't going to look in the Gnome icon theme, it
is going to fall back to HiColor and there isn't a "text-editor" icon there.
