Public bug reported:

I was using cairo-dock in a bare openbox session (no GNOME/KDE) and many
of the icons in various plug-ins were broken (ok so maybe that is a bug
report which should go in cairo-dock-plug-ins then, but since it
happened all over the place, I was unsure if this is not rather a core
issue.

For instance in the attached image, you can see that all icons in
shortcuts are question-mark icons instead of usual partition/folder
icons. In the Applications Menu plug-ins, they would be ugly red-crossed
"no icon" icon.

But if I run `gnome-settings-daemon &` in my autostart script *before* I
run cairo-dock, then I have nice icons in shortcuts/Applications Menu
(and even the application menu icon itself would change to the Mint icon
for some reason).

Why is that? Can't you run cairo-dock without some minimum of GNOME
running (or KDE or other, I have not tried if it fixes the issue there)
and have nice-looking icons? It would be nice to have a nice-looking
system, even without any desktop environment running in background. :-)
