Description hve 2013-12-15 20:00:23 UTC

The installation of package x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme fails to detect that 

/usr/libexec/icon-name-mapping 

does not execute correctly.
icon-name-mapping, part of package x11-misc/icon-naming-utils, fails if package dev-perl/XML-Simple is not installed.

As a consequence regular freedesktop-icons are not displayed in Thunar and in the XFCE desktop. Possibly I think this issue should also affect other window managers as well.

It took me quite a while before I found the 'broken icon' bug after a long overdue gentoo upgrade and cleanup of my system.


Work around:
============
emerge    dev-perl/XML-Simple
emerge -1 x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme


Summary of fixes required:
==========================x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic

1. x11-misc/icon-naming-utils : needs a dependency on dev-perl/XML-Simple

2. x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic
   x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme
   :  needs to check if /usr/libexec/icon-name-mapping executed successfully

x11-misc/icon-naming-tools already has a direct dependency on dev-perl/XML-Simple.  You probably just upgraded perl and forgot to run perl-cleaner --all per the postmerge messages, so XML-Simple was installed but not available yet on the new perl-5.16.

Yes indeed, you are right. Thanks for the response.
