I've wondered about that bug for a while. I see that in the chat, the following blog post was also mentioned, which describes a little more about the problem: https://brokkr.net/2014/02/09/gnome-crashes-because-of-a-missing-icon/ Have you asked the GNOME devs or checked the GNOME email lists to see if this has been discussed? Unfortunate that simply adding the directory containing the icons to XDG_DATA_DIRS doesn't fix the problem. Maybe there's a different setting that needs to be configured? I'll bet the GNOME devs would know more... =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEy/WXVcvn5+/vGD+x3UCaFdgiRp0FAli8sY0ACgkQ3UCaFdgi Rp3UlBAAupANeQlqnWti1TAziME4rLRi2kcriaOi2uzOwSfe7SmAK0Y/CqVpWrWJ ZLAF22KruOzwiLu5QxfdgFkNSaSTuaTHq6PrpB9TK8dDjOaH+01JM1sbaxC+ad11 zyXz4fULJhJALcLuS649qjWjXJcGrZtpOjsg3TR390ewJ/a4QWnoZX4Mf0uvBZ5k GRiXePwMg+r+Nyh3lTGAPFxh4xGlAEKcVqFBz15LYwB0xPRo4Eua7kUfue/2nY4C 4EUj6J0ZGeOe5zWqmma09gaD9tWJjI5v633IYT+YHHFzI+FymZZXn9HSYEttOc7m 9VYtJdPZyJq8Q1o9XKiCXCedggfLYk8syo7OjzgZFlELyUHkR2NkBYCjnd7OL+TI 9/si7kXRQuU4jabRYS7EJ8Jbd4SRD69NBjHZZKK0pwmrNvVh+Fg/O4/HgE1cbOrV ztwFlhvAgLMcVnZsNuKOXXUdDmiUkWavf+l5iAcLJxT1EAfpFFEim6jIOLh+ECC5 z5q3xJiTuB4X6xityyjW+ESCSUDI/HPAN5SKpSvVIwAvnES+GRGmoGquYsJEtj7D d0R6EK1SaITrIGP3tAMyThfRiEHZqsDuqRTjm8fXp7MjKfUAnLnlUtT3BQ+VDZUD lvhAvauw3tgoibW5lnwU/t+f5o1KjlizVgYJuQIqJKHJvhm6gnA= =KRZ+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
