Emacs toolbar icons are missingg

When I start the GTK2 version of Emacs, the toolbar icons are missing, as shown below:

I tried reinstalling the dependencies and rebuilding Emacs from source, but the icons are still missing.

What icon themes do you have installed?

Right now, I'm using the Human theme from AUR.  Switching the icon theme, even to the default GNOME themes, doesn't do anything.

If I remember correctly those icons are in XPM format.
Do you have libxpm installed?

  pacman -Q libxpm

Yes!
The problem is that gnome is not showing xpm icons.. and libxpm is installed!
~$ pacman -Q libxpm
libxpm 3.5.7-1

any hint?

Strange.
Any messages if you start emacs from a terminal?
Anything in the messages buffer in emacs?

Re: Emacs toolbar icons are missingg

Same issue here on KDEMod but the icons are all question marks.  It occurred one day on a reboot and I cannot figure out why or how as I don't recall there being any sort of emacs or icon-related upgrades.  I wish someone knew how to fix this as I suspect its related to a problem with Okular I have too.  In Okular, my "Recently used" field under the "Files" menu heading, shows a big black box and thats all instead of my last used docs.

This is getting silly and can't be hard to fix if I only knew where to look.

Re: Emacs toolbar icons are missingg

same problem on kdemod - blank icons with little x's in them.
the usual icons just disappeared suddenly.
reinstalling emacs didn't bring them back.

Re: Emacs toolbar icons are missingg

I solved this problem adding

(setq icon-map-list '(x-gtk-stock-map))

in .emacs as I read in http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/NEWS.22.3.

It may be unrelated, but that tells you what's in the repos, not what's on your system. pacman -Qs will search the local database.

The command is yaourt, not pacman
