Hi, Thanks for the bug report, I can reproduce it here. This error is what causes the loop: open("/usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-text-x-sh.png", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-mime-text-x-sh", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I'm looking into why this file doesn't exist (it should), in the mean time, to get around this problem do 'locate gnome-mime-text-x-sh.png' and if you happen to have that file (it's distrubted with the redhat-artwork and noia) you can just copy it in the correct position.
By the way, what version of gnome-icon-theme are you using? This problem is fixed in gnome-icon-theme-1.2.1
Aha, I used gnome-icon-theme 1.2.0. version 1.2.1 appears to be masked. Upgrading to version 1.2.1 solves the problem here.
fixed
