Downgrade package which provides some icon features in mate-desktop

Hello

A couple of days ago a standard pacman update seriously messed my system. It updated the kernel and/or my nvidia drivers, but on reboot X wouldn't start properly because the nvidia driver module wouldn't load properly. After much playing about and googling, I enabled the testing repository to get access to the kernel headers that went with my new kernel. Unfortunately, this installed a shed load of 'testing' packages that I have been trying to downgrade ever since. It took me a *long* time get my 'mate' desktop working. I disabled testing, and used the 'downgrade' tool to downgrade using pacman's cache. Clearly there are packages I've missed.

Here is a screenshot of my nautilus in MATE. As you see, several of the menu buttons have this 'icon missing' icon. Can anyone advise what package deals with these (I *think* I have downgraded gtk etc back to how they were before these problems, but to know avail...)

any help appreciated.

Re: Downgrade package which provides some icon features in mate-desktop

Thank you for your reply.

When I ran

sudo pacman -Syuu

it generated a list of packages that includes nvidia stuff, which I've opted to leave alone. However, it did also say wxgtk which I returned to version in the repos. Here are the other packages it lists:

attica-qt5-5.3.0-1  chromium-38.0.2125.101-1
               cups-filters-1.0.60-1  dhcpcd-6.5.0-1  imagemagick-6.8.9.8-1
               kactivities-frameworks-5.3.0-1  karchive-5.3.0-1  kauth-5.3.0-1
               kbookmarks-5.3.0-1  kcmutils-5.3.0-1  kcodecs-5.3.0-1
               kcompletion-5.3.0-1  kconfig-5.3.0-1  kconfigwidgets-5.3.0-1
               kcoreaddons-5.3.0-1  kcrash-5.3.0-1  kdbusaddons-5.3.0-1
               kdebase-runtime-4.14.1-4  kdeclarative-5.3.0-1
               kglobalaccel-5.3.0-1  kguiaddons-5.3.0-1  ki18n-5.3.0-1
               kiconthemes-5.3.0-1  kio-5.3.0-1  kitemviews-5.3.0-1
               kjobwidgets-5.3.0-1  knotifications-5.3.0-1  kservice-5.3.0-1
               ktextwidgets-5.3.0-1  kwallet-5.3.0-1  kwidgetsaddons-5.3.0-1
               kwindowsystem-5.3.0-1  kxmlgui-5.3.0-1  libtiff-4.0.3-5
               man-pages-3.74-1  nvidia-340xx-libgl-340.46-3
               nvidia-340xx-utils-340.46-3  pcre-8.36-1  python-3.4.2-1
               solid-5.3.0-1  sonnet-5.3.0-1  sudo-1.8.11.p1-1

are any of those candidates for affecting the icons/menu items in nautilus?

thanks
