Bug#718027: gnome-icon-theme Back and Forward arrows' color missing

[jidanni at jidanni.org]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 24.0~a2+20130726004002-1

In iceweasel there are two kinds of Back arrows,
one clickable, the other not.

The clickable one is usually green, the non-clickable one usually grey.

(There are also a matching set of Forward arrows, four arrows in total.)

On Debian be sure to only have
hicolor-icon-theme
installed, and not an additional
gnome-icon-theme
or else in iceweasel one ends up with the arrows
shown in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=780682
The problem with those arrows is that one is missing its green color!

In my tests I used
# su - nobody -c 'HOME=/tmp/$$ iceweasel'
to ensure a "pristine" iceweasel,
then browsed a web page, and clicked some link.
We notice the Back arrow is now green.
Repeating our test with gnome-icon-theme installed that arrow is not
green! Yes, it is a tiny bit different than it was before we clicked
some link, but it is obviously erroneously missing its color!

Now of course one needn't install hicolor-icon-theme in the first place, but
1. One cannot then install imagemagick.
2. One will get warnings:
(iceweasel:6134): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'gtk-go-back-ltr'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
        http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

So one should still install it.
