Bug#409789: gnome-panel: list of applets not updated after installation

[Francesco Potorti`]

Have you received my response?  I attach it for reference.  Should I
file a bug to some other package, or will you take care of it?

I don't think I did anything like the above...

I get this:

$ grep gtk-update-icon-cache /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-accessibility-themes.postinst:if [ -x /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache ]; then
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-accessibility-themes.postinst:        gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/$theme
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-themes.postinst:if [ -x /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache ]; then
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-themes.postinst:        gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/$theme
