Hello,

After a Jessie update icons of same themes disappeared on XFCE 4.10.

On XFCE Settings > Appearance > Icons I've tried GNOME, HighContrast and
Tango. The only that works is HighContrast.

Maybe it's a problem with libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0, but I'm not sure.

Could you help me, please?

Thanks. Best regards,



I've tried to reproduce this problem on four systems running Debian
testing with Xfce4 and couldn't see it.

What I have seen of late is that icons in /some/ gtk-based applications
show up as high contrast icons, rather than whatever they've been set to
in the Icons tab. But I gather that what you're seeing in this regard is
rather more far spread -- all applications, even Thunar?

Do you have both gtk2-engines-xfce and gtk3-engines-xfce and
gtk2-engines-pixbuf installed? (I'm no expert at this, but have just
seen aberrations in icon and theme behaviors with /some/ of my themes
and icon sets when these aren't installed.

Hi,

It happens in all applications even in Thunar.

I've checked the packages that you told me and every thing looks fine.

Just in case it could be a clue, I get this in ~/.xsession-errors

Thanks. BR,
There's nothing unusual (at least on my systems) about the ssh-agent and polkit-gnome-authentication-agent errors present in ~/.xsession-errors. I don't know about the nm-applet errors because I don't use network-manager-gnome, preferring to use wicd or just do without a network manager instead.
However, I do see Gtk warnings and GLib-GObject warnings of those types all the time when running applications from the terminal on remote systems, so I'm guessing that none of these messages is pertinent to your problems. It's really hard for me to see how a problem with the nm-applet could cause your icons to go bonkers.
I'm sorry to say I don't have anything else to suggest -- other than possibly removing, purging, and then re-installing the icon themes. That might help if an installation or upgrade process which affected the icon themes was interrupted or failed in some other way.
I assume you're not holding back any packages with your package manager and are fully updated on this system. Holding back the versions on certain libraries (or using stuff from outside repositories / sources) might break certain elements of the DE, but I'd expect that to have an effect on other things like window decorations and so on, too.
I use aptitude (in interactive mode) as my package manager, with an occasional use of apt-get for special purposes. I'm one of those weirdos who upgrades every one of his personal systems every day and uses the word "testing" instead of the release code name in his /etc/apt/source.list file, so I'm used to seeing a little minor breakage now and then, but it's almost always very easy to figure out what's wrong and fix it if it's a configuration issue -- or to learn that the problem is caused by a transition that will soon be fixed by an upgrade. I have to say, though, that your problem seems a bit more like something outside of the usual "things breaking in testing" scenario.
It almost certainly can't hurt to try the removal / purge / reinstall dance to see if that can fix your icon displays. 

Wishing you good luck,
Jape
