Today I updated fvwm3 from 1.1.1-r1 to 1.1.2. Afterwards no svg icons get loaded anymore.

Does it work when downgrading to 1.1.1-r1 again?

Ah..
Comment 3 Matt Jolly gentoo-dev 2025-05-08 03:06:18 UTC
This appears to be intentional on the part of upstream: SVGs without a 'viewBox' attribute will not display because there are no associated dimensions. It seems that attempting to infer this information has caused issues in the past.

As per the linked issues / PR, the best way to fix this is probably going to be updating the SVGs to include a 'viewBox' and getting that in upstream. Suggest logging bugs against the appropriate packages (if any exist) and referencing this bug and the upstream responses.
