I don't intend to go debate this; you can take it with upstream or with the submitter of the "about dialog broken" bug. From a technical standpoint, I consider this a required dependency for minor functionality. > > I don't think we have any GNOME icon theme for non-GNOME users, and > > beside: what would you include in such an icon theme anyway?

Liferea isn't part of upstream GNOME and it has no icon in its about dialog which is absolutely ugly. Besides, the gcalctool icon which is in gnome-icon-theme is also required for the application to set an icon in the task list (window list), in its window decorations, and in the menus. So this isn't even only about the About dialog. > > gcalctool is a GNOME app > No, it isn't: > Description: A GTK2 desktop calculator > ^^^^ It's part of the official GNOME moduleset; check: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/gcalctool http://directory.fsf.org/project/gcalctool/ I think the description was never updated since the tool was promoted for GNOME inclusion. I've fixed it in pkg-gnome SVN; thanks. The dep was also downgraded to a recommends as to allow you to replace the theme with another one. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
