Bug#568827: libgtk2.0-0: Most icons and pictures no longer displayed

[Samuel Hym]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.18.6-1
Severity: important


Since an update of my system about 2 weeks ago, GTK-based applications
no longer display any icons (but the underlying buttons are still
usable).

The icons in gdm are no longer displayed but the wallpaper still is.
In evolution, neither icons nor email pictures are displayed.
In nautilus, only the extracted text is shown in the thumbnails for
text files, no border. No other file-format icons is displayed,
neither are the thumbnail versions of photos, while the correct size
is allocated for them. Strangely, the icons for shortcuts are shown.
Icons display normally is Qt applications or others.

The small following python script

    import gtk
    w = gtk.Window()
    i = gtk.image_new_from_stock(gtk.STOCK_DIALOG_QUESTION,
    gtk.ICON_SIZE_DIALOG)
    w.add(i)
    w.show_all()
    gtk.main()

displays an empty window. An strace shows that the icon file is never
opened but

    eog stock_dialog-question.svg

properly displays the image.

I tried running gtk-update-icon-cache -f on the gnome icon directory,
without any effect.

I tagged this as important because I have no clue whether it is really
GTK which is to blame in that case (I run xorg on a geode chip with
little memory, with some unusual bugs sometimes, compared to a
full-fledged computer).

Just in case:

ii  xserver-xorg-video-geode               2.11.6-4 X.Org X server -- Geode GX2/LX display driver

Any clues? Any test to suggest I might run?


Best regards,
Samuel Hym
