In order to not get too bloated, I leave lxde-icon-theme out and use GNOME instead. I also think that all desktops in Fedora should use a common artwork for a seamless user experience. I might reconsider this as desktop people have repeatedly changed the GNOME artwork without prior notice and not even reverted the changes when they were asked to do so by many people (one of them being the FPL). > and removed all > the symlink bloat yourself.

What you consider bloat is needed for cross desktop interoperability. lxde-icon-theme has even more symlinks: $ rpm -ql lxde-icon-theme | wc -l 6652 > Now the more serious one: Your numbers are wrong. > > [mclasen@planemask ~]$ rpm -ql gnome-icon-theme | wc -l > 5717 This is gnome-icon-theme-2.30.0-2.fc13. You pushed it to stable just yesterday, so you should not that it cannot be in the nightly yet. The nightly still has 2.29.2-3.fc13. $ rpm -qpl gnome-icon-theme-2.29.2-3.fc13.noarch.rpm | wc -l 2434 Thanks for bringing the legacy icons back, but nether your changelog entry nor the notes in bodhi mention that, so how is anybody supposed to know this? 5717 is still a lot less than 6597 (2.28.0-1) and this is the source of bugs like this one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=573811 Regards, Christoph -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
