If it's true that all GTK+ packages depend on these icons, would it make sense to alter the glib-or-gtk-build-system to provide them? > > However, we could: > > 1.

I have adwaita-icon-theme and hicolor-icon-theme in my profile, but when running transmission-gtk, it complains on stderr about problems with both icon themes and has no icons at all: --start-example- (transmission-gtk:21008): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'document-open'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. (transmission-gtk:20986): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'network-idle' for stock: Icon 'network-idle' not present in theme Adwaita --end-example-- Is this working for anyone else? I haven't found a way to provide the correct paths at build time, but I'm not very familiar with this build system. > > WDYT? > > Ludo’.
