Description:   Opened: 2007-10-25 22:58 0000 
hicolor-icon-theme 0.10 has to be installed for some applications to find their
icons (for example rhythmbox icons that reside in /usr/share/rhythmbox/icons).
Thi bug appeared when I upgraded GNOME to 2.20. Suggested fix would be to make
gnome-icon-theme-2.20 depend on hicolor-icon-theme-0.10

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use rhythmbox 0.11.2 or gnome-power-manager-2.20 with hicolor-icon-theme-0.9

Actual Results:  
Doesn't show some icons (tray icon, some others)

Expected Results:  
Icons that are not in /usr/share/icons but instead in
/usr/share/<application>/icons should be found and shown correctly

Hmm... Nothing changed between 0.9 an 0.10 that is related to icons not in
/usr/share/icons.  Did you upgrade rhythmbox when you upgraded gnome, by any
chance?

------- Comment #2 From Tadas Dailyda 2007-10-26 01:13:22 0000 ------- 
Yes, I upgraded rhythmbox and gnome-power-manager along with GNOME and both had
this icon problem after that.

OK, so my assumption about /usr/share/<app>/icons was wrong. The actual reason
why it didn't work is newly defined categories in 0.10 (at least "status" and
"places"). rhythmbox uses both of these, gnome-power-manager uses "status".
Should be obvious now :)

Okay, that makes sense to me, which is why I asked if you upgraded rhythmbox. 
This makes the deps hard to do; the deps really belong in rhythmbox/g-p-m;
however, currently only icon themes (and gimp) dep on hicolor.

Gnome herd: what do you think?  Bump the gnome-icon-theme dep?  Or add deps to
apps as-needed?

------- Comment #5 From Rémi Cardona 2007-10-26 05:47:35 0000 ------- 
Adding deps to apps seems somewhat overkill. What's more is that these apps
don't _need_ hicolor, they just want one theme that provides the icons they're
looking for.

I'd say the dep only makes sense in the meta.

------- Comment #6 From Daniel Gryniewicz 2007-10-26 13:26:32 0000 ------- 
No, they need hicolor, because it provides the legal categories that an icon
theme can use.  They provide (in some cases) their own icons.

Hicolor doesn't actually provide any icons; it provides a framework for icon
themes.

------- Comment #7 From Daniel Gryniewicz 2007-10-29 19:43:13 0000 ------- 
Okay, I've unilaterally decided that the gnome-icon-theme dep is enough, and
bumped it.  Hopefully fixed.
