From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: If I log in under Gnome (RH9), all icons on the desktop and in Nautilus look the same. They all look like a sheet of grey-white paper with a curl in the upper left hand corner. However, the panel and menu icons are all correct. If I log in under KDE, I have no icons problems. This Gnome icon problem didn't exist at installation time. It appeared suddenly after several days of successful usage of RH9. Also, I have RH9 set up on two computers and the problem only exists on one of the two computers. I have tried manually changing the icon for Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-desktop-2.2.0.1-4 (all RH9 components uptodate as of 15-April-2003) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in under Gnome, does not matter if root or regular user. 2. 3. Actual Results: Gnome comes up OK. All applications work. But the desktop icons and Nautilus icons all look like grey-white pieces of paper. Expected Results: Regular standard icons should appear on Gnome/Bluecurve desktop and in Nautilus. Additional info: I have installed "vanilla" RedHat 9 and have applied all updates issued through 15-April-2003.
Did you change anything in the Theme control panel? if you do change something, does it affect the problem?
When I run gnome-theme-manager, I get an error dialog box that says: "The default theme schemas could not be found on. This means that you probably don't have metacity installed, or that your gconf is configured incorrectly." ps -efww shows /usr/bin/metacity --sm-client-id=default1 and /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 11. As root, I killed X and deleted all root user directories ".g*" and ".metacity". I did rpm -e on metacity, control-center, and firstboot (all dependencies). Then I did rpm -ivh --force metacity* control-center* firstboot*. Restarted. No change. Then I did rpm -e --nodeps gnome-icon-theme gnome-themes followed by rpm -ivh --force --nodeps gnome-icon-theme* gnome- themes*. No change.
Does it help to log in as a newly-created user? I think the relevant package to reinstall if you lost these schemas would be "libgnome", though I don't know how you could have lost them.
Creating a new user and logging on as that user did not help. Reinstalling libgnome* SOLVED the problem. All icons have been restored automatically to their correct state. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All the libgnome packages were installed but somehow they got messed up, I guess. What I did to mess them up is beyond me. But at least a reinstallation fixed the problem. Again, thank you!
Guys, this happens in Rawhide too. I'm seing blank pieces of paper for all non-default icons on the desktop (i.e. file.pdf, file.jpg, file.ods, file.odt) This might be a bug after all
