Description of problem: AFAIK gnome-panel is supposed to work with SVG images, but the version provided with Fedora does not. When resizing the panel within certain size ranges (e.g. 32x32), icons revert to the generic "no image" icon, because the bitmap alternatives are being used, but not scaled. IMO if the SVG icons were supported and being used, this wouldn't happen. When selecting a background imaged for the gnome-panel, if the image is an SVG then nothing is displayed at all, and the panel reverts back to solid colour. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.20.2-1.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install an SVG icon set using gnome-appearance-properties 2. Change panel's background image to an SVG using its properties applet 3. Resize a panel to e.g. 32 pixels Actual results: No SVG icons nor panel background image is displayed Expected results: gnome-panel should support SVG images Additional info: Tested on both i386 and x86_64 machines, with the same results.
svg background works fine in rawhide, and for issues with icons when resizing the panel, that is not the panels fault, but depends on the definitions in the icon theme.
Ah OK. I assumed we supported SVG already. +1 set resolution to RAWHIDE and close.
I guess this is the same thing I am seeing. If I have the size of the gnome panel 47 pixels or less the logout icon appears as a running man, but if I make it bigger the icon turns into something that looks like a dark photograph with the lower right corner turned up.
Adding to the mystery: comment #3 above applies to a machine I upgraded from F7 to F8. But on the same machine I have another disk partition with F8 fresh installed, and on that one I can make the gnome panel as large as I want and still the logout icon remains the green running man.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '8'. 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 8'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 8 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
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
