Description Eduardo Romero 2005-03-16 23:45:51 UTC

After successfully emerged, XFCE4 (4.2.0) shows no icons in the iconbox nor in the config panel.


Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -kv xfce4
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
XFCE4 shows no icons

Expected Results:  
Show the XFCE4 desktop fully loaded (icons), everything else seems to work fine.

I packed (bin) XFCE4 and all its libs (xfce4-base, xfce4-extras) from my
desktop, and try to install on my laptop. I also quickpkg some of the libraries
needed (those big +1MB) including gtk+ which caused the problem.

FIXED:

The error seems to be in the gtk package, it didnt recreated the dir /etc/gtk-2.0. (shows in the log)

After copying this folder and its files from the other PC everything works fine and icons show up.


I Just wanted to report the "bug" not sure if its really a bug, and the quickfix. 

Hopefully it'll help anybody in the same situation.
