Description Karl Eichwalder 2006-03-10 16:17:13 UTC 
Fresh 10.1beta7 installation.  A popup with the following error message appears at login:

Failed to load image firefox-gnome
Details: Icon not found

Is this caused by an own customization?  IIRC, I once had firefox in my panel...
Comment 1 JP Rosevear 2006-03-10 16:34:06 UTC 
The firefox-gnome desktop file was deprecated, probably had its own icon
Comment 2 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-03-10 19:19:16 UTC 
Was this an update?
The slightly different firefox-gnome icons doesn't exist anymore.
Comment 3 Karl Eichwalder 2006-03-10 20:16:18 UTC 
Installation from scratch, but I tried to re-use my customizations in ~/.gnome*, ~/.gconf, etc.
Comment 4 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-03-10 20:21:24 UTC 
So it's no real bug but still not perfect. How to solve this without creating legacy symlinks?
Comment 5 Karl Eichwalder 2006-03-10 20:40:35 UTC 
I'd say, the gnome panel (gconf?) should pickup a default icon and stop annoying the user with cryptic error messages.

(Probably it is just me who will be bitten by this bug.)
Comment 6 JP Rosevear 2006-03-10 21:08:33 UTC 
How is it supposed to pick a default icon for a binary/.desktop file that no longer exist?
Comment 7 Karl Eichwalder 2006-03-10 21:22:43 UTC 
Maybe, "default icon" is the wrong term.  I meant kind of a fallback icon (for example, a frame with question mark would be good enough).
Comment 8 Mark Gordon 2006-03-10 21:59:56 UTC 
So the suggestion so far is:

1) to be less verbose when a launcher's icon is unavailable for whatever reason
2) to fall back silently to a "missing icon" image, akin to what browsers use when an image linked in a page is 404

Is that correct?

In answer to #6, maybe a per-user cache could be maintained, with the cached image being used if the installed icon disappears.  Not for this release, of course, but it might be a more robust approach.
Comment 9 Joe Shaw 2006-03-24 22:39:10 UTC 
I'll take this one.
Comment 10 Joe Shaw 2006-03-24 23:26:35 UTC 
Fix which doesn't pop up that annoying dialog, but still displays the missing icon icon submitted.
