Description Pacho Ramos 2009-03-02 09:35:33 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
This was reported some time ago downstream:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255422

With gtk+-2.12, icons in xbm format were properly shown in gnome-menu, after updating to 2.14, they are no longer shown, even when gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders seems to still support xbm files:
$ gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders|grep xbm
"/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-xbm.so"
"xbm" 4 "gtk20" "The XBM image format" "LGPL"
"xbm" ""

Downstream has told me that maybe upstream choosed to not support compiling icons on the fly anymore, if this is the case, I would know a bit more information with reasons for dropping this 

Thanks a lot :-)

Does this happen every time?

CCing gentoo's gnome herd for tracking purpose.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2013-12-19 04:57:41 UTC 
the problem here is that we are now using shared-mime-info for file sniffing, and it does not have any magic for xbm.

Is this then "fixed" then or should be reported to shared-mime-info upstream?
