Public bug reported: The XFCE main menu in xubuntu uses the "internet-mail' icon for the default "Mail Reader" menu entry. Many icon themes have that icon, but many more do not. If you choose one of the themes that does not have that icon it will disappear from the menu.
I worked around this issue by placing a copy of the old internet- mail.svg icon from the elementary theme (which I personally like better than any of the new ones) in /usr/share/pixmaps. For a default install a symlink to one of the existing icons would also work. A more robust solution would be to ensure that all icon themes have at least one icon that fills the requirement for each of the default icons used by the menu, and any other system functions. Again, symlinks would work here ... This issue is still present on a clean install of xubuntu 14.04 b1, although it appeared in previous versions as well. Sorry I didn't have a chance to report it sooner. :-/ ** Affects: xfdesktop4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293305 Title: Several icon themes lack an "internet-mail" icon, causing it to go missing from the XFCE menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1293305/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
