Catfish depends on some specific icons installed in the system. When run without these icons being available, catfish fails to initialize. Catfish's code uses Exception Driven Development, so ignore first exception from stack trace. The interesting part is second exception: it is about missing icon. This icon is included by few icon themes, but only installing 'gnome-icon-theme' package fixes this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Launch catfish with no parameters without 'gnome-icon-theme' installed. Actual Results: Application failed to run and stack trace was printed. Expected Results: Catfish should start and it's main window should be displayed Stack trace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/catfish/catfish/CatfishWindow.py", line 247, in load_symbolic_icon icon = icon_info.load_symbolic(color, color, color, color)[0] AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'load_symbolic' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/catfish.py", line 51, in <module> catfish.main() File "/usr/share/catfish/catfish/__init__.py", line 71, in main window = CatfishWindow.CatfishWindow() File "/usr/share/catfish/catfish_lib/Window.py", line 63, in __new__ new_object.finish_initializing(builder) File "/usr/share/catfish/catfish/CatfishWindow.py", line 154, in finish_initializing self.reload_symbolic_icons(self.icon_theme, builder) File "/usr/share/catfish/catfish/CatfishWindow.py", line 183, in reload_symbolic_icons apps_icon = self.load_symbolic_icon('applications-utilities', 16) File "/usr/share/catfish/catfish/CatfishWindow.py", line 252, in load_symbolic_icon icon = self.icon_theme.load_icon(icon_name, size, icon_lookup_flags) gi._glib.GError: Brak ikony "applications-utilities" w motywie Translation of last message: 'icon "applications-utilities" is missing in the theme'
1.0.2 in portage with RDEPEND of virtual/freedesktop-icon-theme
Thanks for such quick reaction. Unfortunately freedesktop-icon-theme is not enough. As I wrote earlier, catfish requires some icons from Gnome Icon Theme and not any other. I had Tango theme installed when found this bug. I though that any theme with missing icon would be enough. However I tested installing Mate theme which has application_utilities.png icon, and it appeared that catfish still throws that exception.
BTW: is that feasible to update dependencies in catfish 0.6.4 ebuild which is current stable one?

I have even given you examples of package providing 'freedesktop-icon-theme' virtual package that does not provide proper icons for catfish: x11-themes/tango-icon-theme To confirm my assumptions, I also installed x11-themes/hicolor-icon-theme - catfish still throws that exception. I still believe this bug is not fixed. If in any doubt please do not hesitate to ask me for missing information. And please don't close this bug once again until you are pretty sure that EACH package providing freedesktop-icon-theme is enough to run catfish (single example is not a proof).

(In reply to Paweł Stankowski from comment #7) > Oh, thanks for clarification, I thought that 'Verified' means 'Tested'. np. it does mean 'tested', but we don't use 'invalid' in combination with it, since then the bug would be incomplete and NOT show in simple 'open bugs' searh like it would if it's set to unconfirmed, confirmed or in progress and yeah, bunch of icon theme packages miss their dependencies from index.theme's Inherits= line and the current desktops need a lot of different icons, so using Inherits=gnome if some icon theme package is missing the line and adding gnome-icon-theme as a backup to the ebuild is the safest bet to avoid icon problems...
