some icons in xfce settings manager don't show up. reported on slackware 10 after upgrade to 4.2beta from 4.0.6 using graphical installer (removed xfce 4.0.6 package before). install prefix: /usr/local
problem solved: svg libraries not installed. but why some icons showed up and some not?! wrong path: svg stores loader libraries in /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/ but xfce looks for them in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/
fixed in CVS (after the usual anoncvs delay)
whoops. i had the wrong bug open. this doesn't really make sense, as there are SVG and PNG images for the MCS plugins (or at least there should be). btw, this SVG problem of yours has nothing to do with xfce - it's a gtk issue (actually, a package management issue?). at any rate, you need to install gtk engines to the prefix where gtk is installed.
Afaics after checking /usr/share/icons/hicolor/* and Xfce src : xfce4-splash.svg does not exist; it's available here : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/flc.web/xfce/xfce4-splash.svg I'll add it to Rodent tomorrow, but it should be included in xfce4-session. xfce4-workspaces.svg and xfwm4.svg are installed in 48x48/ subdir; should be installed in scalable/ xfce4-panel.svg and xfce4-mixer.svg are not available in the sources or the corresponding components. Afaict they should be, and are available in Rodent theme.
francois: are we only including the SVG icon with the MCS plugins themselves? if so, this should change, as we can't rely on SVG support being available.
(In reply to comment #1) > problem solved: > svg libraries not installed. but why some icons showed up and some not?! I think the ones that don't hav svg icons show up. Perhaps you could try to uninstall librsvg temporarily and see if this command fixes the issue (run as root): # gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders > wrong path: svg stores loader libraries in /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/ > but xfce looks for them in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/loaders/ You probably want to install librsvg into the same prefix as gtk. Maybe symlinking or copying the loader works as well. This is not Xfce's fault. Thanks, Jasper
I had this problem in 4.1.90, but after installing 4.1.91 all of the icons showed up.
RC1 will have a new method to query gdk-pixbuf for SVG support, and the icon theming is a bit improved, so this should be fixed. if not, it's probably a problem with the included icons themselves; reopen if that's the case.
