[Bug 1226925] Re: gnome-settings-daemon necessary to have icons
I agree. That's part of the fun. :-)
Well I still think a small feedback would be nicer for the user, but I
also see what you mean. And also I am not sure which form could take
this feedback anyway. So seeing what you say, I guess we should just
close the ticket as a NOTABUG, then?

Title:
gnome-settings-daemon necessary to have icons
Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
New
Bug description:
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. :-)
