Thunar crashes because it can't find existing icons

Here's a strange little Thunar bug. When I right-click on anything in a Thunar window, the file manager crashes with the message:

Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon for stock: Icon 'Terminal' not present in theme
aborting...
Aborted

What's weird is that I've seen this with several icon themes, all of which have stock "Terminal" icons. :?

Re: Thunar crashes because it can't find existing icons

Do you have hicolor-icon-theme installed?
It is reported to refuse to start or crash if this is absent

Re: Thunar crashes because it can't find existing icons

Yeah..  this is because thunar is currently compiled with a flag that treats warnings as fatal. See this post for where Benny talks about it.

(I kind of wish Shadowhand would remove this flag for our compiles, but I merely copied my gnome-terminal.png icons to Terminal.png for this case)

I have hicolor-icon-theme installed.

What bugs me is that even the Rodent theme, which was made for XFCE, causes this crash... :? Even if the Terminal icon is there, Thunar can't see it.

Re: Thunar crashes because it can't find existing icons

[stonecrest@machine nuoveXT-gnome-1.5]$ find . -name Terminal.png
./20x20/apps/Terminal.png
./48x48/apps/Terminal.png
./16x16/apps/Terminal.png
./128x128/apps/Terminal.png
./24x24/apps/Terminal.png
./32x32/apps/Terminal.png

Works here.

change the icon perameter in ~/.config/Thunar/uca.xml to a file that is there.

Re: Thunar crashes because it can't find existing icons

This should be fixed now. It was the infamous "right-click bug".

The reason this happens is because of a GTK bug in how missing icons are handled... (ie: GTK == fscked. )

UPDATE: It wasn't fixed. But it is now. And I'm an idiot. :oops:
