#4988: pidgin-2.3.1 not paying attention to gtkrc pixmap_path
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  reiffert          |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new               |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)      |    Version:  2.3.1 
 Keywords:  pidgin gtk gtkrc  |    Pending:  0     
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The motivation as of now can be found here:
 http://pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2008-March/005012.html


 I attached a patch that will correct the behaviour by correcting just a
 single
 occurence of loading pixmaps. When you are rebuilding pidgin-2.3.1 with
 this patch, you can test it like this:

 Create a file /tmp/gtkrc with the following line:

 pixmap_path    "/where/the/pixmaps/are/pidgin"


 Then start pidgin like this:

 GTK2_RC_FILES=/tmp/gtkrc ./pidgin




 What needs to be done:

 * Fix all other occurences in an appropriate way, maybe combine them into
 a single
 function.

 * Add DATADIR/pidgin to the pixmap_path on runtime, so that pidgin looks
 first
 into DATADIR/pidgin.
