 Yes there are alot of SVG icons in Piding but fuchs is talking about the
 application icon.The icon you find in your menu or on launchers (or in my
 case when using Gnome-Do). For this to work they must be placed right in
 order for external stuff to find them. Take a look at this bug report for
 screenshots of the problem:

 @all

 I think the reason why the SVG icons are inside the directories 16x16,
 22x22, etc. is that they are used as base for the bitmap icons. (The SVG
 is opened and exported to the corresponding bitmap size).

 Please copy the file:

     pidgin/pixmaps/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/scalable/pidgin.svg

 to:

     pidgin/pixmaps/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/pidgin.svg

 That should fix the problem. Just downloaded the source for 2.5.5 where
 this still seems to be an issue.
