If I set an icon in a .desktop file I have to upload it. For example, I want to use preferences-desktop-keyboard-shortcuts from gnome's icon theme. I think that this doesn't have to be necessary and I'm doing something wrong. Am I right? What is the proper way to do this?

BEWARE: With GNOME 3.14.0, the 'gnome-icon-theme' package will disappear! This was all merged into adwaita-icon-theme.
IF your application is based on GTK3 (and will be built with GTK 3.13.x) then you don't have to worry for that: adwaita-icon-theme is the de-factory GNOME Upstream icon theme which 'each GTK developer is allowed to assume its presence' (as a consequence it is 'required' by libgtk-3-0 with the upcoming GNOME 3.14).
What I basically want to say: do NOT add BuildRequired / Requires to gnome-icon-theme (or let me know, so I can branch it into GNOME:Next, ensuring that when we push GNOME 3.14 to Factory, this switch is taken care of as well).
Best regards, Dominique
Hi.
I wasn't aware about the change in the gnome-icon-theme, thanks for pointing that out. The application is ObKey, and old PyGTK app to set key bindings for Openbox. I'm packaging it for LXDE and, given that LXDE is GTK2, I assumed that gnome-icon-theme would be present (up to now it has been always installed by default). LXDE will use Adwaita in 13.2 because currently it uses Clearlooks that is GTK2 only and GTK3 apps look ugly, at least to me. But IIRC GNOME 3.14 will replace Raleigh with Adwaita and the problem might disappear. Greetings. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: Hmmm, an other way would be to put the wanted icon in /usr/share/pixmaps/ and be free of any theme requirements.
There where some plans within LXDE to switch from GTK2 to QT5, so keep that in mind / any eye on it.
Thank you for the invested time, I like LXDE.

LXDE is not going away as a GTK2 based DE, at least not in the near future. LXQt is the Qt4/5 based version of LXDE, and it is being developed concurrently. I don't believe you will see a GTK3 based version of LXDE though.
