I encountered this issue and found this bug searching for a solution. I
have just upgraded from 8.10 "Intrepid" to 9.04 "Jaunty" then to 9.10
"Karmic". I didn't notice if this issue was present on Jaunty, but it
definitely is on Karmic.
After a bunch of trial and error, I have a workaround of three short and simple
commands:
sudo mv /usr/share/icons/Tangerine/icon-theme.cache
/usr/share/icons/Tangerine/icon-theme.cache.1
sudo mv /usr/share/icons/Tangerine/32x32/places/start-here.png
/usr/share/icons/Tangerine/32x32/places/start-here.png.1
killall gnome-panel
You might get a file not found error if the file icon-theme.cache
doesn't exist, this is fine, but you probably won't. Sudo is only needed
for the first two.
My testing consisted of copying everything from
/usr/share/icons/Tangerine into another folder in /usr/share/icons,
selecting that icon theme, then deleting the "*start-here*" files (as in
find /usr/share/icons/Tangerine -iname "*start-here*") and running
killall gnome-panel after each delete to see if it did anything. You can
actually remove all of the "*start-here*" files and somehow still have
those icons present in the "Menu Bar" ("A custom menu bar") applet but
they'll not be in the "Main Menu" ("The main GNOME menu") applet; the
only file that changes anything is the 32x32 png one. The issue is
definitely around that file. If other themes are having this issue,
perhaps this solution could work for them too.
Here's some info about my system:
