I updated Mandrake 10.0 to Mandriva 2005. The problem is that a lot of icons can not be found by Gnome (2.8) anymore. For instance: in Evolution, I get white pages with a red cross where used to be the icons.
Thanks a lot for your idea, but no luck. Some of the icons are working, others don't. For instance in Evolution I hardly see any icons (new, read or unread mail, attachement icon,...). In the Gnome actions-menu I do not have an icon for logging of the computer. (I do see the text).
It almost sounds like a GTK2 or librsvg problem... I don't know what all happened when you "upgraded"... Try and find out what pictures aren't displaying and look at the file extension. The reason I mention it is because I've had these problems before it was because I upgraded GTK. librsvg no longer was talking to my new GTK because I forgot to run pixbuff-querry-loaders or some such thing... I don't even know if that was my problem. I ended up downgrading GTK again but I'm almost positive that the below command would have fixed it for me.
Something LIKE this might or might not resolve it.
All the files were PNG, but some PNG ones do display. However, I managed to solve it. I looked up for the file evolution.png in rpm-files installed. I found out that the package gnome-icons was providing it. I forced this package to uninstall and re-installed it right-away. It all works fine now.
I think I understand most of this page, but not how to uninstall and then reinstall that file. I just upgraded from Core 1 too 4 and have the icons issue as well, but not all of the icons are missing. I also now don't have the first spash screen that used to have the weather, today's tasks, ect on it. any help is appreaciated.
