[gtk-osx-devel] Problem with dialog box icons

[Jim Charlton <jim jimc dyndns org>]

I have recently built gtkmm (jhbuild, meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap and then 
meta-gtk-osx-gtk3,  and finally, meta-gtk-osx-gtkmm3) on a MAC MAVERICKS 
machine.  All went well.  I then recompiled a substantial program.  
After some minor adjustments, the code executed as previously compiled 
on a MAC LION machine... but... icon images do not appear in the dialog 
boxes and when run from a console window I get the following error message.

Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'dialog-warning-symbolic'. The 
'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
    http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

hicolor is in the .../gtk/inst/share/icons directory... but it seems 
like it is ignored.

If I install the hicolor theme to /usr/local/share, then this message 
goes away but the icons are still missing.

Anyone have any hints as to how I can get the icons back?
