Bug Description

Binary package hint: human-icon-theme

In
   /usr/share/icons/Human/index.theme

Human inherits from Tangerine, gnome
however Tangerine also inherits from Gnome and as far as I can tell there is no benefit from
doubly inheriting from Gnome.

If I remove the ', gnome' from Human a desktop startup still seems to work OK AND
the number of open(2) calls on starting a second gnome-terminal drops from 125 to 101 (after I
regenerate the icon cache).

20% less open's for almost no work?

Dave
P.S. Some of this is due to libXCursor and friends being rather dumb, but that's a separate problem.

On Lucid we don't seem to have /usr/share/icons/Human any more, but some of the others have the same (minor) problem:

dg@major:/usr/share/icons$ grep Inherits */index.theme
default/index.theme:Inherits=DMZ-White
elementary/index.theme:Inherits=gnome,hicolor
elementary-monochrome/index.theme:Inherits=elementary
HighContrastInverse/index.theme:Inherits=HighContrastLargePrintInverse,gnome
HighContrastLargePrintInverse/index.theme:Inherits=gnome
Humanity-Dark/index.theme:Inherits=Humanity,gnome,hicolor
Humanity/index.theme:Inherits=gnome,hicolor
HumanLoginIcons/index.theme:Inherits=Humanity,gnome,hicolor
nuoveXT2/index.theme:Inherits=nuoveXT-1.6,Tango,gnome,crystalsvg

So I don't think HighContractInverse needs to include gnome, and Humanity-Dark doesn't need gnome or hicolor
simiarly for HumanLoginIcons
