In the buggy case, xprop only reports one icon of size 48. In the correct case, xprop reports 6 icons of sizes 22, 16, 48, 24, 32 and finally 48 again, all looking like taken from Humanity. (This isn't what I saw here a couple of days ago in the dup bugreport, I've no idea about the cause of this difference.)
Apart from these, the only differences in xprop's output are "bitmap id # to use for icon", "bitmap id # of mask for icon" and "_NET_WM_USER_TIME(CARDINAL)". Just as the visible icon itself, xprop's output is also not updated immediately when installing/removing gnome-icon-theme, only on certain operatons such as opening a new gnome-terminal tab or window (including Find, Preferences, About windows), or opening its Terminal menu. This makes me still heavily suspect that the icon is indeed taken from the "_NET_WM_ICON(CARDINAL)" X property. But then how do the files shipped by gnome-icon-theme come into the game??? I've double checked that gnome-terminal only performs the "gtk_window_set_default_icon_name (GNOME_TERMINAL_ICON_NAME)" once at startup, so it's not this call setting the X properties directly, but probably GTK+ doing it sometimes under the hood. This xprop thingy seems to be a dead end for investigation. We'd need to locate the exact piece of software displaying that icon (gnome-shell? mutter?) and start debugging that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1718238 Title: Giant terminal icon is blocking out the Terminal window buttons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1718238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
