Package: xfce4-screenshooter-plugin
Version: 1.3.1-1
Severity: normal
I needed to make screeshots of some open browser windows, so I decided
to install 'xfce4-screenshooter-plugin'. When adding the plugin to a
panel, I noticed that no icon was displayed in the plugin chooser; once
the plugin was on the panel, the fact that the icon is missing makes the
launcher invisible -- you can only find it if you memorize the position
where you added it.
Investigating further, I found that I could not manually alter the icon
by right-clicking Properties. Next, I looked for the configuration file
that controls the icon setting:
$ dpkg -L xfce4-screenshooter-plugin
[...]
/usr/share/xfce4/panel-plugins/screenshooter.desktop
[...]
Then, I looked at the icon setting:
$ cat /usr/share/xfce4/panel-plugins/screenshooter.desktop
[Xfce Panel]
Type=X-XFCE-PanelPlugin
Name= Screenshot
[...]
Comment= Take a screenshot
[...]
Icon=applets-screenshooter
X-XFCE-Exec=/usr/lib/xfce4-screenshooter-plugin/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-screenshooter-plugin
Running
find /usr/share/icons -name '*shooter*'
produced no output.
Looking at the dependencies of 'xfce4', I see that it depends on
'tango-icon-theme'. This dependency actually caused some temporary
annoyance when I upgraded from Xfce 4.4 to 4.6, because the old default
icon theme was "Rodent" from the 'xfce4-icon-theme' package, which had
been installed automatically with 'xfce4' 4.4 but was removed when
upgrading to 4.6.
Have I messed up my configuration somehow, or should
'xfce4-screenshooter-plugin' depend on a package that provides its icon,
such as 'xfce4-icon-theme' or 'gnome-icon-theme'. I found that
installing 'xfce4-icon-theme' did not immediately restore the icon,
since its 'applets-screenshooter.svg' icon is located in the "Rodent"
theme and I am using the "Tango" theme. A quick symlink, followed by a
run of 'gtk-update-icon-cache' allowed this workaround to function.
It would be nice if 'xfce4-screenshooter-plugin' either packaged its own
icon, or had a dependency on some package that would (automagically)
provide the icon, or if 'tango-icon-theme' had its own
"applets-screenshooter" icon.
Thanks,
Dave W.
