[SOLVED] Rubyripper icon not displaying in Gnome menu

Hi.

The Rubyripper icon doesn't show up in my applications menu (Gnome). The .desktop file reads

[jm@elroy ~]$ cat /usr/share/applications/rubyripper.desktop | grep Icon
Icon=rubyripper

And the icon is present in my filesystem

[jm@elroy ~]$ find /usr/share/icons/ -name rubyripper.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/rubyripper.png

What can I do?

Re: [SOLVED] Rubyripper icon not displaying in Gnome menu

The icons for the gnome menu have to be located in /usr/share/pixmaps I guess, check if a rubyripper.* icon is present there. If not, copy an icon into that folder [name: rubyripper(.png | .xpm | .svg ...)]

If present, maybe the icon cache should be updated. Try

gtk-update-icon-cache

or

 gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/{your icon theme}

to force an overwrite; with root privileges. (I guess your theme is hicolor.)

I missed some icons too, but I did never mind. One day, they occured... so if nothing helps, wait ^^

Unfortunately copying the icon to /usr/share/pixmaps and updating the icon cache didn't help. Strange problem. Guess it's wait for me then. Thanks for the help.

EDIT: The icon just poped up. Maybe updating the icon cache did the trick. Many thanks!!
