I've recently updated GTK+ to 2.4-r1 (from 2.2). Since then ROX-filer (version 2.1.0) does not work anymore. When I start ROX it opens a window saying: ROX icon theme not found... installing... --- Failed to create symlink '/home/hazzl/.icons/ROX': File exists In the shell window I get the following error messages: (ROX-Filer:5207): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (ROX-Filer:5207): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkstyle.c: line 2044 (gtk_style_render_icon): assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (ROX-Filer:5207): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to render icon (ROX-Filer:5207): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1579 (g_object_unref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (ROX-Filer:5207): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (ROX-Filer:5207): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkstyle.c: line 2044 (gtk_style_render_icon): assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed (ROX-Filer:5207): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to render icon (ROX-Filer:5207): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1579 (g_object_unref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ... ... ... ~/.icons/ROX is a symlink to ROX's standard icon set. Everything seems to be populated correctly I've tried to recompiling ROX but that didn't fix the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start rox (version 2.1.0) Actual Results: Error Message as described above (no icons found) Expected Results: ROX starts normally #ROX-Filer 2.1.0 Copyright (C) 2003 Thomas Leonard.

emergeing version 2.1.1 solved the problem for me. Currently 2.1.1 is masked.
You can only run the newest 2 Versions of Rox with GTK 2.4 !!! Rox 2.1.1 or 2.1.2 !!! --> my Problem --> it is not masked in my portage tree (after 10 emerge sync ;-)) Maybe the rsync servers of gentoo are not working well ... Please check it ... !!! As you say that there is an Ebuild i will try to use a different rsync server ! --> i used >inode.gentoo.org>
Confirming. Upgrade to rox 2.1.1 fixes the problem.
Created attachment 30986 [details, diff] Block gtk+2.4.0 for ROX 2.1.0 Would this patch prevent people from installing gtk+2.4.0 when they only have ROX 2.1.0? If so it would fix this bug report
marked 2.1.1 stable, remove 2.1.0 from portage and added 2.1.2 :)
