Your suggestion was a good one (thanks), but it appears that relying
100% on %posttrans isn't a reliable (or ideal) option either (see also
fedora-packagers list for another thread on that).
So, here are the questions that remain to be answered:
0 (premise) Relying solely upon rpm scriptlet hooks to keep icon cache
fresh is problematic (all it takes is one package/instance of not
calling gtk2-update-icon-cache) and inefficient. Agree/disagree?
1. gtk2 should include a %post scriptlet to (re)generate (possibly
missing) initial icon cache. Agree/disagree?
2. gtk2 should include some mechanism to keep cache fresh. Agree/disagree?
0. Can be addressed by updating packaging guidelines to not mandate
gtk2-update-icon-cache in scriptlets. I hope we can all agree at this
point there are better ways of doing it.
1. Easy, should (imo) be a no-brainer to include in gtk2 package.
2. My proposed cron job is one way to address this, but many folks seem
to cringe at that suggestion. Fine, come up with something better.
