Desktop icons changed by user, display white border around them

[anivegmin]

Right click on a desktop icon and select properties. Select a new icon via user/share/icons. The new icon then displays a white border. This is happening with my mounted usb thumb drives and a usb hard drive.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Sebastien, I think this may be related to the patch applied to fix Bug #1085320: the Gnome folks have since reverted (at least parts of) it (see Gnome bug 688808 [1]) because it caused custom icons to be shown as thumbnails, hence the borders reported in this LP bug. I tested this by applying the changes in [2] to current Nautilus in Raring (1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16), and the borders around my customized icons went away. Also, though I didn't test very extensively, this didn't result in desktop files again having borders as originally reported in #1085320.

(The commit log entry of [2] refers to [3], but I think it should refer to [4] instead.)
