Comment 34 for bug 141227

Milan: I agree this should be fixed this release, I've just had bad experiences with bug fixes when it's come to art in the past. For example I filed a bug against GPM in Ubuntu because the icons were using the SVG icons instead of the fixed pixel icons. This was causing blurry icons, but since the Human theme had its own icons for GPM (that were nonblurry) this issue was put on the backburner. It wasn't even a trivial issue, the Gnome icon theme needed to use hicolor's icon theme as a fallback, the fixed pixel icons existed in hicolor the whole time. 1 line in a themerc file to fix this issue...

Well now a similar issue has come up. We need 1 line in a theme file to fix the icons by displaying 24px icons which many applications have. I'm just afraid that if we fix something it'll take another 3 distro releases to revert the quick fix.

I agree it's impossible to ask users to edit their .gtkrc file, but if this bug really annoys them they've probably done it by now. My fix was just to hide all applications with blurry icons because I never used them anyway. Synaptic is the only blurry icon in my menu.

I'm sure by the time someone looks at this bug Gnome 2.22 will be released anyway. Sorry for the lack of optimism.
