Avid readers of the commits list will have noticed an impressive number of commits rolling in from Hannes Janetzek, author of the Everything launcher who is currently in absentia working on his doctorate, and Massimo Maiurana, captain of the translation team who probably eats bricks of bran for breakfast to complement his usual stellar performance in getting changes pushed from the internationalization team. They’ve both been putting in a lot more hours than usual lately to ensure that things got polished up in time for release, and it shows with the last-minute bug fixes and translation updates.

Ticket #2061: [efm] file icons vanish when doing DND-menu operations

I think this is the last place that the icon disappearing bug could occur.

Ticket #2063: Application Theme – GTK2 Themes some don’t update

I guess gtk apps send special client messages to signal icon/theme reloads; now we do too.
