Network server icons are missing in Thunar

blank icon

I'm observing this on several XFCE 4.10 flavors: Xubuntu, Linux Mint, Solydx.

If you start Thunar and open the "Network" location (that is, network:///), you don't get proper icons for
- network drives (e.g. NAS)
- Windows network
but instead a generic "blank document" icon (attached).

Yet, the required icons are present under usr/share/icons/<theme>/places/<size>, respectively: 
- network-server
- folder-remote

but Thunar 1.6 appears unable to locate them (unlike Thunar 1.2 or several other file managers).

This cosmetic bug ought to be easy to fix -- but not by me.

Up! Duplicate bug https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9988. The problem remains actual. Screenshot http://yadi.sk/d/yt_GzV9LGwtfJ . Linux Mint 16. The output of the command gvsf-info:

I'm not sure at all about this, but it seems like thunar-file.c should have some contents to handle network:// stuff (as it does for various other things). I have a headache from walking backwards through several of the source files, so I'm going to have to punt this one to someone much more familiar with the code :/

Robby, this bug does not occur in Thunar 1.5. You need to look at the implementation in the source code "thunar-file.c" from "Thunar 1.5".

Simon, thank you very much! I was waiting for this commit more years =)
It remains to fix the bug with freezing desktop https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10778
After that XFCE will be ideal.
