Description of problem: The icon used to mark a message as important is not present in evolution. A file with a cross is displayed instead of a red circle with an exclamation mark. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): version released with fc6t1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open evolution 2. Look at the icon at the top on the "marked as important 3. Actual results: Showing a white page with a red cross Expected results: Should be a circle with an exclamation mark Additional info:
It looks like the stock_mail-priority-high.png icon is missing from the gnome-icon-theme package. Verified that this file is missing from upstream CVS and filed a bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346306 Changing component to gnome-icon-theme and reassigning to johnp.
Upstream comment: As per the naming spec, this is emblem-important in the emblems context now. A symlink is created at install time by icon-naming-utils for backward compatibility with the old name used by evolution. --- There is no such symlink on my Rawhide machine. Discovered that the icon-naming-utils package was not installed. After installation there is still no such symlink.
I now believe this bug is due to the icon-name-mapping script (from the icon-naming-utils package) not being run from the 16x16/stock/net directory upon installation of the gnome-icon-theme package. The following stanza, which appears in many of the gnome-icon-theme package's Makefile.am files, invokes the icon-name-mapping script: install-data-local: install-iconsDATA (cd $(DESTDIR)$(themedir)/$(size) && $(ICONMAP) -c $(context)) The above stanza is missing from the Makefile.am file located in the 16x16/stock/net directory (former home of the stock_mail-priority-high.png icon), as well as several other icon directories. Trying to contact upstream for confirmation.
This has now been fixed upstream. Turns out the stanza above was missing from the */emblems/Makefile.am files, not the 16x16/stock/net/Makefile.am file as I thought. I was on the right track, at least.
