Hi,

I just remembered that I once set up a workaround for Pluma under Arch,
but it's not related to icons:

   =E2=80=A2 rocketmouse@archlinux ~=20
   $ ls -hAl /pluma
   drwxr-xr-x root root 4.0 KB Wed Aug  1 11:03:42 2018 =EF=84=95 snippets
   =E2=80=A2 rocketmouse@archlinux ~=20
   $ ls -hAl /pluma/snippets/
   lrwxrwxrwx root root 51 B Wed Aug  1 11:03:42 2018 =EF=92=81 global.xml =
=E2=87=92 /home/rocketmouse/.config/pluma/snippets/global.xml

For some reason Pluma expected a user config in the root directory. I
never sent a bug report.

In my experiences with dconf and gesetting commands, some only work
after initialization via the GUI of the related program. I wrote scripts
to setup programs using the dconf and gsetting commands. It works for
most, but not for all apps.

Thank you!

Btw. I'm used to the GTK2 versions of
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fbpanel
and
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/lxpanel/
but I suspect building packages for those obsolete panels doesn't make
sense.

On Alpine I will take a look at tint2 before considering anything else.

Regards,
Ralf
