Description of problem: The 'gconf-editor' utility uses the stock 'GNOME' folder icon in the folder pane, even when 'Bluecurve' is the active icon theme. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bluecurve-icon-theme-8.0.0-1.fc8 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set icon theme to 'Bluecurve'. 2. Launch 'gconf-editor'. Actual results: The stock 'GNOME' folder icon is visible in the folder pane. Expected results: The corresponding [and existing] 'Bluecurve' icon is used. Additional info: Might be a bug in 'gconf-editor' [2.20.0-1.fc8] itself, the folder icon does not change for other themes either.

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Still broken for bluecurve-icon-theme-8.0.1-1.fc9.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Theming is ok with gconf-editor-2.23.91-1.fc10 but still broken with gconf-editor-2.22.0-1.fc9.
not sure if this is related, but applying an icon theme that works great on RHEL 5.2 does not work 100% on fedora 9 (both with latest updates). i.e. the folder icon does not update, whereas the zipped file icon does.
(In reply to comment #7) No, it is not. Old icon themes work less well with every new GNOME release because of changing icon naming specs of the GNOME default theme. It seems that pre-2.24 versions of gconf-editor, the folder icon was addressed by the application using an absolute icon path whereas the latest 2.24 version appears to have dropped the path prefix making it behave correctly now.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
