I am using Xfce-4.10 on Debian 7. But I found some icons are missing (and only "x"'s appear) in the application menu. Take ipython3
as an example. Here's the ipython3.desktop
:
# If you want ipython3 to appear in a linux app launcher ("start menu"), install this by doing:
# sudo desktop-file-install ipython3.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Enhanced interactive Python shell
Exec=ipython3
GenericName[en_US]=IPython3
GenericName=IPython3
Icon=ipython3
Name[en_US]=ipython3
Name=ipython3
Categories=Development;Utility;
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=true
Type=Application
The theme is installed (currently tango-icon-theme
, but other themes don't work either).
The icon file is at /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ipython3.svg
. It can be displayed in an image viewer.
Reinstalling ipython3
doesn't help. I also tried to replace the ipython3.svg
with some other normal icon files (libreoffice-calc.svg
, for example). This doesn't help either.
Any ideas to bring the icons back? Thank you.

Try to
as root in order to refresh the icons cache. It may be also performed for another directories containing the icon themes (with
index.theme
files).
