x11-themes/hicolor-icon-theme does not install correctly on first install. As referenced by http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-557961-highlight-gnome.html , it appears during the initial install of this package the icons are not installed. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gnome from a new install 2. check the available icons when at the desktop Actual Results: The default "games" category in the Applications menu have no icons, and other various icons and graphics are missing (another example - right click on a mounted optical disk icon on the desktop - the icon that should be left of "Copy Disk..." is missing). Expected Results: All icons installed correctly the first time around. I didn't think to check if the files installed by the package changed when it was reinstalled prior; however all the graphics you would expect of Gnome function after reinstalling the package.
Yep, gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ does solve it. It's something we've been working on for a few weeks but only committed a few days ago. Sorry for the breakage, we're still trying to find a clean solution for all of this. Thanks
Here it seems to install only empty directories here so Portage ends up to clean them away: betelgeuse@pena ~ $ qcheck hicolor-icon-theme | tail AFK: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/mimetypes AFK: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/emblems AFK: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/animations AFK: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/filesystems AFK: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/emotes AFK: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/actions AFK: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/places AFK: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/status AFK: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/categories * 45 out of 321 files are good betelgeuse@pena ~ $ betelgeuse@pena ~ $ qlist hicolor /usr/share/doc/hicolor-icon-theme-0.10/README.bz2 /usr/share/doc/hicolor-icon-theme-0.10/ChangeLog.bz2 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme
Yeah, some directories are empty, that's normal. On my box, 192x192, 128x128, 96x96, 72x72 and 64x64 are all empty. Nothing to worry about :)

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme <= only that one makes it a theme ... I had never looked at this package before and, I agree, it's awfully silly :) Basically, in Gnome mantra, all default icons and package provided icons are placed in the hicolor theme. If you qpkg the files in hicolor/32x32/* for instance, you'll see all your gtk/gnome apps. Is this theme is still giving you a hard time, just run "gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/"
it appears this package is only needed to provide categories and as such doesn't install icons by itself. @herd, what to do with this bug ?
I'm not even sure the bug came from hicolor-icon-theme in the first place. Reading the forum posts, it looks like it may have been caused by another theme (gentoo-artwork?) doing random stuff inside hicolor/ @Chance : Does this bug still hold true on new installs today? Please reopen if it's the case.
