Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-do

I'm using version 0.4.0.1-0ubuntu1 on hardy.

When I change the icon theme in the appearances capplet, gnome-do will continue to use the icons from the previous theme until I restart it (really restart, via "Quit" and then starting it up again). gnome-do should notice the change and update its icon cache accordingly.

I am unable to reproduce this bug. When I booted today, I had the human theme, so Do was brown. I just changed to the Clearlooks theme, and Do is now blue, without restarting it.

I am running the same version of Do in Hardy with compiz enabled.

OK, that's good.

What I did however, was to just change the icon theme, not the complete theme. Could you try this too?

Sorry, I completely misread your original report.

But, I also can't reproduce that issue either :). I just changed the icon theme from the default human to Mist, and without restarting Do, the icons used for folders are now changed. See attached screenshot.

Additional info: I have compiz enabled (do you?)

Screenshot after changing it to Mist theme with Crux icons. Again, no manual restart of Do.

OK, I just rechecked and the issue is this:

After the icon theme change, the first time you invoke gnome-do, it will still show the old icon. After you start typing, or if you close it and open it again, it will show the correct icons.

So you can only reproduce this bug if the icon that gnome-do displays by default when you start it differs between the two icon themes (I switched from Human to Tango).

And this also means that this a very minor bug (though still a bug) :)

Oh, and I'm not using Compiz normally, but I can also reproduce the behavior when running Compiz.

I can reproduce it too. I don't know if we can do much about it though.
The icons are correctly set if you hide Do and open it again or if you start typing.
