Now that I have solved the contact list problem in Evolution 2.6 (turned
off file locking and dot locking at config/compile time for
gnome-data-server), I'm back to a problem with the icons.
If I start up in full Gnome (xinitrc launches gnome-session instead of
fluxbox), all the icons work fine. But if I use fluxbox as my window
manager, the icon situation gets muy weird. Some (most?) icons in some
(most?) applications show the correct icons... but Evolution and
Nautilus (just to pick two examples) show only a white rectangle with a
red "x" in the middle. Launching Nautilus from an xterm window reveals
a constant stream of error messages:
Error loading theme icon for stock: Icon 'gnome-{something}' not present
in theme
Someone suggested last week that I check XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and
XDG_DATA_DIRS.
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set to $GNOMEROOT/etc/xdg
XDG_DATA_DIRS is set to $GNOMEROOT/share
Those environment variables are the same at all times whether I use
fluxbox or gnome-session.
When I launch X with an alternative wm like fluxbox, are there other
services I need to launch manually so Gnome applications can find their
respective icons?
