Bug 262987 – media-libs/libpng-1.2.35 causes icons to disappear in xfce-4.6.0 and kde-3.5.10

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bob Raitz 2009-03-19 05:20:48 UTC]

media-libs/libpng-1.2.34 stops the ability for xfce-4.6.0 and KDE-3.5.10 to fail to display .png icons.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge media-libs/libpng-1.2.35
2. .png icons disappear.
3. emerge media-libs/libpng-1.2.34
4. .png icons reappear.




I am currently not at home, so I don't have any systems on which to double-check the results. However, with emerge media-libs/libpng-1.2.35, all the icons in the XFCE menu show up as an icon with a blank page and with a red "X". With emerge media-libs/libpng-1.2.34, all icons appear normally.

Upon checking with the other systems, this seems to be a weird anomaly on one machine only. I have tried repeatedly to duplicate the circumstances, but it doesn't seem to be working on my other systems. I am going to request that this be closed and invalidated.

My apologies for any inconvenience.

dont sweat it.  if you do figure out / narrow it down, please keep us updated.

i would guess it's related to your CHOST/CFLAGS combo ... i486 CHOST sounds wrong considering you're using -march=prescott (an i686) ...

Will do.

Had the same problem (broken images icons, that is) — had to emerge both tango-icon-theme (got rid of broken images icons) and gnome-icon-theme (got rid of merely missing icons).  Someone in #xfce on freenode told me to  do that as if it was common knowledge, yet these packages are not deps for xfce4... perhaps they should be.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. It would save some from the "anguish" of not having icons in Xfce.
