Unable to load icon text-x-preview at size 48 in a loop

[Evan]

=== Test case ===
1. Install unity 3.8.16 from natty-proposed
2. Remove gnome-icon-theme (or move it away from /usr/share/icons/ temporarily)
3. Restart unity (compiz --replace)
4. Unity should start without hanging.

ii unity 3.8.14-0ubuntu2

Installing the latest Unity package in Oneiric leaves me with compiz pegged at 100% CPU. Digging further, I see the following message repeated in a loop:
** (<unknown>:2908): WARNING **: bool IconLoader::ProcessGIconTask(IconLoader::IconLoaderTask*): Unable to load icon text-x-preview at size 48

The icon theme is set to ubuntu-mono-dark, and indeed the ubuntu-mono package does not have a text-x-preview icon; however, switching to an icon theme where this is present, like Humanity, does not resolve the issue.

For what it's worth, I also have the gnome3 PPA set.

I'm seeing it as well.

Installing gnome-icon-theme-full fixed the issue for me. This may just be a temporary workaround but that should at least restore a working gnome/unity desktop.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

yep, fixed it for me too.

Accepted unity into natty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
