All the icon in the Setting Manager but Brain's Terminal and xffm's icon are
missing.I not sure if it's something I did when installing xfce(first time
using a cvs build) or if you all are changing how icons are used.

I used Benedikt install for xfce(to test).

it's eduard's terminal, actually... anyway, probably an icon theming issue.
couple questions: where do you have xfce installed (as in, your prefix)?
what's your gtk version? and finally, do you have a
$prefix/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme file?

Sorry my head was not screwed on right when I called it brian's terminal(was
compiling brian's music player at that moment).So don't send eduard after me
:)

Anyway
1. Prefix is /usr/local
2. GTK is 2.4.4-5mdk
3. index.theme is there,if you need it i'll upload it.

Also sorry if I posted stuff in the bug tracker that I was not suppost
too,never used anything like this before.If you want my index.theme file ask
i'll upload it.

hmmm. ok, that's odd. it should work properly then. at any rate, i'm
hopefully redoing all the icon theming this weekend (to properly support gtk
2.2 and below), so perhaps we'll eliminate this bug along with that.

about bug reports - don't worry about it. if you think it's a bug, report it.
we may not agree, but that doesn't make you wrong for reporting it in the
first place.

Thanks kelnos.Can't wait to see what you do with the icons,i'll recompile
xfce next week,if I get time(college starts this week).And report back if it's
still not working.

Update:Got icons now. between my original post and my first reply I decide to
compile xfce from cvs by hand(I used benny's installer before).Then right
after I posted this message I logout and log back in and I have icons.

I updated
libxfcegui4
libxfce4util
libxfce4mcs
gtk-xfce-engine-2
xfce-mcs-manager
xfce-mcs-plugins

I have a simple question.How do you all keep xfce up to date on your
computer.Doing "./configure && make && make install" on 15 odd packages takes
a lot of time.

icon theming should be mostly fixed now. if you still have problems, please
open a new bug (and be as specific as possible).

as for updating xfce, i rarely do the entire thing at once. i just do bits and
pieces as i need to for dev work. since i mess with the source tree almost
daily, this isn't a problem. i believe i've seen people post to the mailing
lists some scripts they've used to compile xfce from cvs. give it a search.
