Bug#908705: g_icon_to_string output includes some garbage prefix

[Eduard Bloch]

Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.58.0-3
Severity: important

Hi,

one of the last releases in the last couple of weeks has broken the
g_icon_to_string function. Previously, it did exactly what
https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GIcon.html#g-icon-to-string said
and returned a proper short name or absolute path.

Now, it returns some nonsense, after this pattern:
. GThemedIcon mpv mpv-symbolic

That's crap. For the example above, /usr/share/applications/mpv.desktop
contains:
Icon=mpv

And mpv is what I expect (following documentation)

Repro:

Run icewm-menu-fdo (from icewm-common package) and see a lot of those
strings there except of the plain icon name.

Regards,
Eduard.
