Description Jeremy Bicha 2012-11-24 01:40:10 UTC 
Copied these symbolic links from /usr/share/icons/gnome/
Comment 1 Jeremy Bicha 2012-11-24 01:53:00 UTC 
Hmm, my patch was a bit too large for Bugzilla. You can download it from http://bicha.net/HighContrast-add-symbolic-links.patch
Comment 2 Cosimo Cecchi 2012-11-24 18:50:09 UTC 
It doesn't seem to me that gnome-icon-theme tracks these symlinks under version control; instead, I think it uses the icon-name-mapping utility to generate them at make install time [1], [2]. Any chance you could try a patch with the same approach here for HighContrast?

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2012-11-26 00:55:47 UTC 
We should really push applications to use the icon naming spec names, so we can get out of maintaining the mess of symlinks. Are you seeing missing icons that are fixed by these symlinks, Jeremy ?
Comment 4 Jeremy Bicha 2012-11-26 01:09:20 UTC 
Matthias, I filed this bug at the same time as reporting http://pad.lv/1082575 where the language-selector used on Ubuntu was using a symlinked icon.
