--- Comment #3 from Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Olga Smirnova from comment #2)

I see what you mean, but I am wary of just adding a dependency to fix this
issue, which is anyway indirect.

I need to understand what are the missing icons. While the gnome icon theme
happens to contain them, there could be other themes including them, or may=
be
they could be added to a theme already installed by xfce.

The gnome-icon-theme in the ports tree is also quite old, so maybe the icons
references in garcon need to be updated?

Even accepting to add a dependency I'm not sure adding it to garcon is the
correct place. I think it should be added to the xfce metaport.

garcon is an xfce component, while users are free, if they want to to mix a=
nd
match xfce components, the supported way to install xfce is to use the
metaport. If a user mixes and matches components it is his duty to make sur=
e he
installs a consistent set.

XFCE at present depends directly (optionally, enabled by default) on
xfce-icons-elementary and causes a bunch of other icon libraries to be
installed via dependencies already. Before adding another dependency I'd ra=
ther
try to add the required icons to one of these themes. Or maybe changing the
reference to another icon present in the more updated themes already depend=
ed
upon. Upstream is usually very helpful in such matters.

You could help by pointing me at where in the source code these missing ico=
ns
are referenced. If you cannot help in such a way I will try to find time to=
 do
this myself.

Please note, I'm not refusing your suggestion, I'm only saying that before
applying it blindly some further research is needed, because better solution
could be possible, and I need to thoroughly understand the issue to investi=
gate
all those.
