--- Comment #5 from Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org> ---
I've taken a look at garcon source code and could not find any icon file or
category being directly referenced (except fallback ones in case of missing
ones).

Garcon simply takes the menu description provided by consumers and uses the
icons designated there.

This makes me think that, even if a new dependency is required, it should be
added to where these icons are referenced. But again, the xfce metaport already
has a dependency on an icon theme.

To understand why this is affecting you I need to know how you install xfce,
that is, are you using the metaport? Default options?

What icon themes ports have you installed? (output of `pkg info -o '*icon*'`
should give the needed information)

Maybe a screenshot of the menu with the missing icons?

Also, have you tried choosing a different theme and icon set from the
appearance  configuration menu?

As I said I need to understand exactly why you are missing icons, which icons
and how to best provide those. Icon themes can be chosen by users also, so
forcing a new one via dependency is not the best option.

If you are not using the metaport you should try installing the
xfce-icons-elementary port and see if that fixes it. In such a case I would not
add a dependency, since it is already provided by the metaport.
