Ah, thanks for that.  Yes, I can see that with the old name I have:

~$ locate mail-mark-notjunk
/usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/actions/mail-mark-notjunk.png
/usr/share/icons/gnome/22x22/actions/mail-mark-notjunk.png
/usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/actions/mail-mark-notjunk.png

But with the new name I have only:

~$ locate mail-mark-not-junk
/usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/actions/mail-mark-not-junk.png

No doubt this is the problem.

I wonder why they don't use scalable graphics (SVG) instead of .png
files for the icons?!?!  Then we wouldn't have this problem...  Funnily
enough I do have SOME SVG files:

~$ locate mail-mark | grep .svg
/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/actions/mail-mark-important.svg
/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/actions/mail-mark-read.svg
/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/actions/mail-mark-unread.svg

Looks like these go in the summary buffer.

Maybe I need to install the gnome-icon-theme package from git, too... or
I guess I could just copy them over.
