I've just installed Xfce 4.2.2 (all the RPMS from http://www.ca-us.xfce.org/archive/xfce-4.2.2/rpm/rh9/i386/). The settings manager consists mostly of blank spots where the icons should be, and the calendar application has a blank icon in the system tray. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. I will be attaching a screenshot to this ticket.
Created attachment 264 Settings manager on RedHat 9 (XFCE 4.2.2)

This looks really familiar, but I can't find the old bug number. Olivier, you worked on this last time, right?
I had opened the same bug last year...I didn't find it using the simple search (I guess the simple search doesn't look at reporter email addresses or bug descriptions). It turns out it's bug #490. Should I mark this as a dupe of #490 and re-open the older one?
Sound very similar to #366 The thing is, I didn't see that when building on RH9 here and I don't think anyone changed anything since the bug was fixed the last time....
Ok, so it looks like you're back to the same state as 4.2rc1. Have there been releases of Xfce since your last bug report where it *did* work? Which releases have you tried?
I haven't used a version that did work (since whatever I was running before 4.1.91 or so). I haven't seen this problem on FC3, but it's been consistent on my RH9 box. I haven't tried a complete reinstall of the RH9 box. If absolutely nobody else is seeing this problem, I'll just ignore it. This system is due for an upgrade anyway.
Mmm, this is just weird. Are you by chance using gtk 2.2.x on the RH9 box? It's very possible that icon theming doesn't work properly there. Otherwise, I really think this is a packaging problem, and not a code problem.
RedHat 9 does use gtk 2.2. I was sort of suspecting a packaging problem, but if that were the case I'd expect everyone using RH9 to see the same problem.
Having the same problem here on Gentoo. Xfce 4.2.2, GTK 2.6.8 ...don't hesitate to ask me further...
Xfce 4.2, RH9, GTK 2.2 -> ye olde stuff... I don't suppose this get's fixed in the near future...
