terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gtk::IconThemeError'

Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.

Thanks for taking the time to file a report!

Does it also happen with other Gtk applications (Geany, LibreOffice)?

[Cadel Watson (kdelwat)]

LibreOffice (5.2.4.2.0) currently has no problems, and so far I haven't seen the same behaviour with any other GTK programs.

[Florian Bruhin (the-compiler)]

I see the same on Archlinux as well, without any warning though.

[Qantas94Heavy (qantas94heavy)]

Does this still occur with Inkscape 0.92.4? If so, is the the Adwaita icon theme installed?

[Qantas94Heavy (qantas94heavy)]

Closing due to lack of response. Please check for bugs on our new tracker: https://inkscape.org/report. Thank you!
