what it looks like when the icons are present on the system

From http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic/tree/README:

"Icons follow the naming specification, but have a -symbolic suffix, so only applications specifically looking up these symbolic icons will render them. If a -symbolic icon is missing, the app will fall back to the regular name."

If I understand correctly, this means that gnome-icon-theme or GTK will do the fallback automatically and transparently?

So far, this doesn't seem to be working from me, as the attached screenshots indicate.

...and the two attachment descriptions are inverted, of course :)
Comment 3 Lapo Calamandrei 2012-10-11 14:14:57 UTC 
The icons there are insert-object and document-properties which are shipped by gnome-icon-theme. I don't think this is a gnome-icon-theme bug.
Comment 4 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-10-11 14:44:15 UTC 
Right, but what component is supposed to do the fallback matching?
Comment 5 Lapo Calamandrei 2012-10-11 14:48:03 UTC 
I guess gtk+, I draw icons tho eh :-)
Comment 6 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-10-16 00:31:43 UTC 
Moving to GTK+ then, hoping that's the right product.
