[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#604195: xfce4 should depend on an icon-theme package

[Gonzalo Pérez de Olaguer Córdoba]

Package: xfce4
Version: 4.6.2
Severity: normal


xfce4 recommends tango-icon-theme, but doesn't depend on any
icon-theme package, so when installed --without-recommends
there are no icons available, and all buttons show as an
empty square.

Probably, the right solution to this will be to create a virtual
package called icon-theme and make xfce4 depend on it.

The workaround is to manually install any icon-theme package.

Thanks,
Gonzalo.
