Thanks for the report. This is fixed in the following rawhide-build:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=321998

The fix will enter the stable repos with the next minor version update.

Comment 2 Andrea Musuruane 2012-06-05 09:29:07 UTC
Any application installing icons to hicolor MUST Require hicolor-icon-theme.  The purpose of hicolor-icon-theme is to be required by any package which installs any icons. It contains no actual icons, but just an empty theme for applications to install their icons into.  Packages not doing that must be fixed.
