[Gpe-list] possible bug in gpe-irc

[D Marlin]

I have built gpe-irc from a subversion checkout and encountered an
error when I tried to run it.

When using the default theme I try to launch gpe-irc and see two error
dialogs indicating that the globe.png and quote.png icons cannot be
found.  The paths it displays are:

  /usr/share/pixmaps//irc/globe.png
  /usr/share/pixmaps//irc/quote.png

Looking at the code it seems that the default icon location is
/usr/share/pixmaps (on my system):

  #define DEFAULT_ICON_LOCATION   PREFIX "/share/pixmaps/"

but in the Makefile.am for gpe-irc, the icons are stored in
/usr/share/pixmaps/default/:

  pixmapsextradir = $(datadir)/pixmaps/default/irc/
  pixmapsextra_DATA = \
                pixmaps/globe.png \
                pixmaps/quote.png

I believe that either the Makefile.am is in error, or the icon
location in gpe-irc/main.c should be changed:

  struct gpe_icon my_icons[] = {
        :
    {"globe", "irc/globe", NULL},
    {"quote", "irc/quote", NULL},

so these will be consistent.

Note: If the location is changed in gpe-irc/main.c, this may break
when a different theme is used, so changing the Makefile.am looks like
the more likely choice to me.

Please let me know if you require additional information.


Thank you,
