Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-icon-theme
On an up-to-date hardy install, all icon themes descending from gnome-
icon-theme show up the text-x-generic icon for many filetypes, eg.
office documents, compressed archives, ISO images and so on. Examining
/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes I found out there are many
gnome-<mimetype>.svg icons that are supposed to show up as icons for the
file types I specified before. Naming them as such, though, seems to
have been rendered inefficient, because when renaming these symlinks to
remove the gnome- prefix and updating the cache using gtk-update-icon-
cache -f, the problem was solved. Also, when I change the icon theme to
a completely independent Mac OS X-like theme I downloaded myself, all
filetypes show the right icons. Using gnome-icon-theme 2.21.4-0ubuntu1.
