Hi, please bear in mind that I'm an absolute newcomer to (py)gtk. I'm trying to install the nice synchronization tool http://live.gnome.org/Conduit
which is written in Python and use pyGTK. This installed several icons e.g. /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/conduit.png When run, Conduit fails to find its icons. For testing purposes I've tried import gtk info=gtk.icon_theme_get_default().lookup_icon("conduit",16,0) which produces the error message GtkWarning: Could not find the icon 'conduit'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases On my Gentoo system lots of packages have placed icons under /usr/share/icons/hicolor So, what am I missing. Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
