I also suffered from HUGE icons after a fresh F21 install on some machines, but not others. With xfce4, some GUI programs - nm-applet, system-config-printer, etc. - had 1.75 inch sq icons instead of normal 0.25 inch sq., making those panels nearly incomprehensible. I tracked the problem to left-over configuration files as a consequence of my usual practice of freshly installing a new Fedora in alternating root partitions, but retaining the /home partition unchanged. The problem was due in some mysterious way to the contents of ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/ because, when I deleted that directory and restarted Xfce, the icons returned to normal size. (The directory and contents were recreated.) That's pretty obscure. Your observation, Ralf, that the theme may be culpable, is probably correct. The problem hasn't recurred since I changed to a theme not named "Xfce-*". This was prompted by another bug - reported by Stuart McGraw - that checkmarks did not persist in check boxes, and "After considerable playing around I discovered that the missing checkmark effect occurs on whenever an xfce* style is selected in app-menu -> settings -> appearance." This is all a mystery wrapped in an enigma - and a giant PITA. That it may be due to interaction with gnome merely encourages conspiracy theories. -- David A. De Graaf DATIX, Inc.
