subject says it all
Comment 1 Akos Ladanyi 2004-09-09 10:48:14 CEST
Happens with the cvs version.
Comment 2 Jasper Huijsmans editbugs 2004-09-20 20:36:17 CEST
This is not an xfce warning, but a GTK one. Something with the theme cannot be
found. Try using a different one.
Comment 3 Akos Ladanyi 2004-09-20 21:13:35 CEST
I understand that this is a gtk warning but it only happens under xfce.
It doesn't matter which theme I use. Do you get this warning too?

I tried searching google for this, but the only document containing this
warning was the following:

Hi!

I've found out what causes this warning. Select the "defaut" icon theme
in User Interface -> Icon theme.
Comment 5 Jasper Huijsmans editbugs 2004-10-27 13:09:48 CEST
I still don't think this is an xfce bug. Do you have the hicolor icon theme
installed?
Comment 6 Akos Ladanyi 2004-10-28 09:07:54 CEST
Yesterday I updated Xfce4 and still get this error when default icon theme is
selected. I have dev-libs/glib-2.4.7 and x11-libs/gtk+-2.4.9. I installed
Xfce4 to /usr/local so I have a hicolor theme in /usr/local/share/icons/ and
one in /usr/share/icons as a part of gnome (I guess). Can this cause the
problem?

An interesting detail: tyr removing/renaming .config and .cache and start
Xfce4. Go to User Interface -> Icon Theme. You will see that the 'hicolor'
theme is selected. Select an other theme for example Rodent. Logout, login,
and check the icon theme settings again. You will see that the hicolor theme
disappeared from the list. Don't know whether this is related to my problem
but seems a bit odd to me.

Ok, I looked at the gtk source and apparently GTK will complain when the icon
theme you selected has no 'Name' field in its index.theme file. So, please check
your hicolor theme. My hicolor theme does have a name field, btw.

This bug is either in your distribution, or in gtk. There's nothing Xfce can do
about it.
