Title:
  inode-directory.svg/.png files break other icon themes

Status in GNOME Icon Theme:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-icon-theme package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-icon-theme

  The latest release of GNOME 2.24 now includes inode-directory.svg /
  .png links that break other icon themes that inherit from gnome-icon-
  theme.

  When using an icon theme which inherits from gnome, but does not
  include an inode-directory icon (which includes the majority of icon
  themes) the default gnome folder icon will appear instead of the
  current icon set's folder icon. This happens most notably in the
  places menu of gnome-panel, and was an issue for the Human icon theme
  in the Intrepid alphas.

  While the Human icon theme solved this issue by adding an inode-
  directory.svg file of their own, the mere use of that file itself
  causes many regressions. For example, when drag n' dropping into
  folders, you will not see the folder change to an open/receiving
  folder. Also, in nautilus' non-browser mode (fedora style), visiting
  folder icons will not work either.

  I suggest that the Ubuntu team would remove the inode-directory svg
  and png files from gnome-icon theme in order to make Ubuntu more
  compatible with other icon themes, and to fix any other regression
  that may occur due to including those files (there is a reason
  previous GNOME releases did not include it). Or at the very least, to
  communicate this issue upstream so it can be fixed in future releases.
