Missing icons 3.4.x, Linux build

I also wish to report that glade-3 application cannot find its own
icons.

I'm running Puppy Linux. I configured with:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --disable-gnome --disable-scrollkeeper
make
make install

Running 'glade-3' from a terminal, lots of complaints that cannot find icons,
but all of these "missing" icons have been installed by 'make install9; at
/usr/share/glade3/pixmaps/hicolor

So, they are all there, but the application cannot find its own icons.
Not so good. This bug is in 3.4.0 and 3.4.1.

Note, I also experimented, copied the icons to /usr/share/icons/hicolor,
but that makes no difference.

V 3.2.2 is fine.

Regards,
Barry Kauler

> Do you have the hicolor icon theme installed ?

No, and I shouldn9;t have to. I am the lead developer for Puppy
Linux, which is a very small distro, about 80MB.
GTK has a set of icons builtin and all applications compiled for
the 2-3 years that Puppy has been in existence have been happy with
this. Even apps that startup and complain on stderr that the hicolor
theme is missing, still default to displaying the builtin icons.

Glade-3 is the only exception to the above. The only one.

The point here is that the icons that are "missing" are actually there,
installed by the 'make install9; itself. For example, stderr has this:

(glade-3:17088): GladeUI-WARNING **: No icon named
'widget-gtk-printdialog' was found for widget class 'GtkPrintUnixDialog'.

But, there it is at
/usr/share/glade3/pixmaps/hicolor/16x16/actions/widget-gtk-printdialog.png

Why has the install placed the icons at that location, if it is then unable
to find them? Some applications have installed to
/usr/share/icons/hicolor, which is where the hicolor icons should be
located -- so why has 'make install9; put them into a different place?

Anyway, I installed the skeleton ' hicolor-icon-theme-0.10', which just
installs the directory hierarchy, no actual icons, then I copied all the
icons from /usr/share/glade3/pixmaps/hicolor to /usr/share/icons/hicolor
and then glade-3 was able to find the icons.

So, I have managed to fix it, but its real weird where those icons got
installed, requiring a manual fix.
