[Bug 278033] [NEW] inode-directory.svg/.png files break other icon themes

[perfectska04]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-icon-theme

The latest release of GNOME 2.24 now includes inode-directory.svg / .png
links that break other icon themes that inherit from gnome-icon-theme.

When using an icon theme which inherits from gnome, but does not include
an inode-directory icon (which includes the majority of icon themes) the
default gnome folder icon will appear instead of the current icon set's
folder icon. This happens most notably in the places menu of gnome-
panel, and was an issue for the Human icon theme in the Intrepid alphas.

While the Human icon theme solved this issue by adding an inode-
directory.svg file of their own, the mere use of that file itself causes
many regressions. For example, when drag n' dropping into folders, you
will not see the folder change to an open/receiving folder. Also, in
nautilus' non-browser mode (fedora style), visiting folder icons will
not work either.

I suggest that the Ubuntu team would remove the inode-directory svg and
png files from gnome-icon theme in order to make Ubuntu more compatible
with other icon themes, and to fix any other regression that may occur
due to including those files (there is a reason previous GNOME releases
did not include it). Or at the very least, to communicate this issue
upstream so it can be fixed in future releases.
