Description David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2013-07-26 19:18:27 UTC 
Today GTK+ does not properly handle symbolic icons. By way of example, assume we have the icon name

 drive-removable-media-usb-symbolic

and assume that

 drive-removable-media-usb-symbolic is missing
 drive-removable-media-symbolic exists

In this case you would expect that drive-removable-media-symbolic is chosen but unfortunately that's not how things work. GTK+ chooses drive-removable-media-usb instead.

This is a real problem which can be easily reproduced by plugging in an USB device with removable media (typically a generic USB stick will do).

I think this can be resolved by adding the following rule: if an icon name ends with "-symbolic" any icon name chosen must also end with "-symbolic". Thoughts?

Thanks for considering.

IIRC either of both of you worked on this last. Thoughts? Thanks!
