[gentoo-user] Missing icons in Evolution

Hi,

since rebuilding my system to a stable one using the 2006.0 live CD
there are most of the icons in Evolution missing. They are replaced by
this "Broken picture" symbol or just empty (see the attachement).

Should I file a bug?

I could take them from the live CD and copy them to the proper location
to make Evolution find them. Does anyone know where this location is?

Thanks in advance
Frank

Hi Frank, 

no need to copy the icons since they are still there ;-)

Just do 

  echo "gtk-icon-theme-name=\"gnome\"" >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0

and the icons should be back again.

But please keep in mind that this file will be overwritten when you use 
something like gtk-theme-switch to change settings!!!

Well, "normal" users shouldn't have to worry about this.  In fact
there should now be a global gtkrc file that sets the fallback theme,
although there is still an issue for KDE users due to the way KDE
tries to 'integrate' gtk/gnome apps.  You might be interested in
reading the comments on this bug:

A simple search for "evolution icons" in the gentoo forums revealed me this:

  http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-461365.html

There you find the solution I told you before ...

In the bug-entry at bugs.gentoo.org which Richard Fish brought to info you'll 
find an even better solution: 

  echo 'include "/home/<USERNAME>/.gtkrc.mine"' >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0
  echo 'gtk-icon-theme-name="gnome"' >> ~/.gtkrc.mine

Then it will not be overwritten if you change themes or fonts ...
