By running evince or amyedit the window toolbar display text-descriptions instead of the classic icons (see screenshot [1] and [2]). Of course the other gtk2 apps works fine. I have this problem since I installed evince, but I thought it was a problem of evince itself. Today I emerged amyedit and I get the same problem. No error/warning messages comes on the shell, even enabling the debug USE flag. revdep-rebuild doesn't find nothing that is broken.

Can you paste the output of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/interface

Okay, that all looks fine. If you start evince from a terminal, do you get errors about icons?
(In reply to comment #3) > If you start evince from a terminal, do you get errors about icons? No, I does not become any output from evince (even by enabling the debug USE flag). The same for amyedit.
How very odd. Okay, grasping at straws here. Output of gconftool-2 -R /apps/evince Also, does changin the icon theme (say to tango) help?
(In reply to comment #5) $ gconftool-2 -R /apps/evince override_restrictions = false > Also, does changin the icon theme (say to tango) help? No, unfortunally it doesn't.. (I use xfce-4.4, not gnome) Thanks a lot for the help ;)
Ah, that could make a difference. Is gnome-settings-daemon running?
(In reply to comment #7) > Ah, that could make a difference. Is gnome-settings-daemon running? No, it's not $ ps -e | grep gnome $ There are a lot of topics about gnome-settings-daemon and icons on forums.gentoo.org, but I don't even have this program: what should I emerge to get it? $ locate gnome-settings-daemon $
It's part of gnome-base/control-center I'm guessing it won't make a difference, tho. During the 0.7 series, evince completely revamped how it finds icons to match the fd.o icon naming guidelines; the patches are extensive, and not easy to backport to 0.6.1, so I'm not sure it's worth trying, but I suspect they would fix your problems. 0.7.x is availabe in the gnome experimental overlay; the only part of the overlay it depends on is the new gnome-icon-theme, so it could be safe to pull it. If you don't mind trying that, it'd be nice to konw if it fixes your problem. I can understand, however, if you don't want to try something like that. Overlay is here: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gnome/wiki
(In reply to comment #9) > It's part of gnome-base/control-center > I'm guessing it won't make a difference, tho. I've not tried, because it comes with a lot of dependencies. I've emerged evince-0.7.2 with the ebuild from the gnome-experimental overlay, but both evince and anyedit still doesn't have the icons in the menubar. Something really strange that I noted: in the toolbar editor of evince [1] the icons are correctly visible.. [1] http://n.ethz.ch/student/lucagu/pub/img/evince_2.jpg
Okay, I'm stumped. I think you'll have to take this upstream to the gnome bugzilla for evince, sorry.
Ok, I'll try. Thanks anyway ;)
I've fixed: I have found where to set the toolbar-icon option in xfce-4.4 $ xfce-setting-show (-> User interface -> Toolbar Style -> Icons) I had no idea of this option: sorry for your losed time.. Guglie
Nice to know...
