gtk does not recognize svg icons

gtk constantly complains about not recognizing svg icons and shows a default not-found icon everywhere. I am sure I got librsvg; everything else involving svgs is fine (I can use inkscape, and thunar seems to display svg file icons fine). I just set up Arch on my new x64 box and must have missed something obvious here ...

Some sample complaints:

(gimp:6797): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-save' for stock: Unrecognized image file format

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sonata/main.py:764: GtkWarning: Error loading icon: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/home/nacc/.icons/ALLGREY/scalable/status/stock_volume-med.svg'

Install librsvg and python-rsvg.

Re: gtk does not recognize svg icons

I have librsvg installed, and the problem still exists after installing python-rsvg (and reinstalling librsvg) ....

It seems only the svg icons in gtk was affected though, in other situations svgs are displayed normally...

Re: gtk does not recognize svg icons

N-Acc, did you managed to resolve this? I'm also affected by this on a brand new install.

x86_64 Arch, fully up to date
Gnome 2.32
librsvg and python-rsvg 2.32

An icon set that shows this problem is elementary-icons in AUR.

In addition to various icons that don't work (like those in the notification area in the panel) the icon theme chooser is also broken. (screenshot)

Re: gtk does not recognize svg icons

usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache

That fixed this for me in the past. (It's off the install script of librsvg package)
