[Nautilus-list] Loading symlinked svg icons fails

[Pauli Virtanen <pauli virtanen saunalahti fi>]

Dear Nautilus developers,

It seems that the CVS HEAD version of Nautilus can't load
those svg icon files which are actually symlinks pointing
to the real svg file. I noticed this while using GNU stow
to manage Nautilus installation.

The bug exists, because the code doing the identifying of
icon files doesn't follow symlinks.

(Function is path_represents_svg_image in file
 libnautilus-extensions/nautilus-icon-factory.c)

A patch to provide an easy fix for this bug is attached
below.
