I know I had seen a posting from someone else that had this same
problem, however I cannot locate the thread. I am running Etch with
Gnome 2.14.1 and after a recent update, the system seems to be unable to
locate most of its icons. This also affects some applications like
Evolution. When I try to change the theme I get the following message:
"The default theme schemas could not be found on your system. This means
that you probably don't have metacity installed, or that your gconf is
configured incorrectly."
As a result it will not let me change to another theme. Metacity is
installed and running. Where do I need to go now?
Okay it looks like the update I did a couple of weeks ago included
gnome-desktop-data_2.14.1.1-1_all.deb. Is it correct to assume the icons
included in that package should include the standard icons used in the
system? It looks like testing and unstable are at the same version. Did
anyone else have this problem? The error messages that I get when logging
into gnome refer to icons that are missing from that package.
Thanks,
Jim
