Hello! I am running Guix as a supplementary package manager on openSUSE 
Leap 15.4, and have used it to install the GTK3 XMMP client Dino (package 
‘dino’, version 0.3.1). The program seems to work fine, but some icons don’t 
show up in the graphical user interface. Some of them do (plus symbol, 
hamburger menu, security lock), but other show a placeholder instead (phone 
call), while some of them don’t show up at all (checkboxes, window control 
buttons, i.e. maximise, minimise, close). Please see the attached pictures 
(‘chat.png’ and ‘settings.png’) for reference.

Here is the terminal ouput after running ‘dino’:

  Gtk-Message: 17:06:11.398: Failed to load module "colorreload-gtk-module"
  Gtk-Message: 17:06:11.398: Failed to load module "window-decorations-gtk-

  This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be 
found.

Here is the output of ‘guix describe’:

Guix usually tries to tell me when I have to do extra steps after installing a 
package, but it says nothing this time around, so I presume this is a bug. Any 
help would be appreciated!

These two lines appear to mark the most likely culprit.  Now, normally
our gdk-pixbuf packages do support svg, but there's some strings
attached.  Most of our GNOME related programs are tested in a GNOME
environment rather than a pure one, which means that things that
shouldn't work happen to do.  Compare the output of

  guix shell --pure -E DISPLAY dino librsvg adwaita-icon-theme -- dino

to

  guix shell --pure -E DISPLAY dino -- dino

Note that librsvg is a regular input to dino and should thus be
available as a pixbuf loader.  I'm not sure what exactly is wrong here
(perhaps dino should swap its librsvg input for gdk-pixbuf), but
another caveat is that on non-x86_64 systems we are forced to use a
pre-Rust version of librsvg, which barfs on some particular input
files.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Just quoting bug 48636:

I have adwaita-icon-theme and hicolor-icon-theme in my system profile,
which I think makes some gtk stuff play nicer. I would suggest
installing them if you don't have them. I also have
gnome-themes-standard and gnome-themes-extra, so those may also be worth
installing if the other things don't do the trick.

Perhaps the hicolor icons should be made a dependency so users don't
have to figure this out on their own. I recall another package getting
that treatment a while back.

End quote

Perhaps dino should have hicolor-icon-theme as a dependency.

Thank you both for your help! I have done some experimenting with the provided 
information. When I run the following command:

  guix shell --pure -E DISPLAY dino librsvg adwaita-icon-theme -- dino

Dino displays perfectly well, only with the Adwaita theme. I use KDE, so I 
thought installing a matching theme might allow it to match the host system. 
And indeed, after adding the packages ‘breeze’, ‘breeze-gtk’, and ‘breeze-
icons’ into my profile, Dino runs with the correct theme and icons. I assume 
it’s always a good idea to install the theme you’re using in Guix also.

The window control buttons still wouldn‘t show up until I installed ‘librsvg’ 
and incorporated it into my profile. As for ‘hicolor-icon-theme’, I don’t 
think it has had an effect on Dino; icons were still missing with only 
hicolor-icon-theme provided.

Thank you both for your help, my issue has now been solved; although perhaps 
this ticket should remain open until it’s solved in Guix by default?

You can test it on master now ;)
