    - You don't have an [[http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fxsettings_2dspec|XSETTINGS]] manager running, 
-   - You need to install GNOME desktop's default icon theme (**gnome-icon-theme** for Debian's apt-get), or
-   - the selected icon theme does not follow the GNOME naming scheme for MIME icons or it does not contain any MIME icons at all.

  The first problem can be fixed by running an XSETTINGS manager in your desktop session, for example xfce-mcs-manager or gnome-settings-daemon. Modern desktop environments automatically spawn a settings manager on startup, so you shouldn't experience this problem in Xfce or GNOME. If you don't want to run an XSETTINGS manager, you can also specify an icon theme in your ''~/.gtkrc-2.0''. For example to use the [[http://www.tango-project.org/|Tango icon theme]] add a line
  
  <file>

  The second problem can be fixed by selecting another icon theme, which contains MIME icons (for example the //Rodent// icon theme, or the //GNOME// icon theme). In Xfce, you can do this by opening the **User Interface** preferences from the **Settings Manager**, and choosing a different theme in the **Icon Theme** page.
  
  Thunar will be updated to comply with the [[http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2ficon_2dnaming_2dspec|Icon Naming Specification]] once the spec enters an usable state and the majority of icon themes follows the spec.
+ 
+ Depending on your system you might need to install the default GNOME icon theme in addition to your preferred icon theme (the Debian/Ubuntu package name is **gnome-icon-theme**). In either case the [[http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/wiki/HicolorTheme|hicolor-icon-theme]] must be installed.
  
  ===== Can Thunar Bulk Rename fix 'invalid encoding' in filenames? =====
  
  Thunar uses various tricks to convert file names to UTF-8 (which is required to handle filenames in the user interface). File names with invalid encoding (neither UTF-8/ASCII, nor the specified GLib file system encoding) may look different (i.e. invalid characters replaced with ''?'' characters). Because the file name is garantied to be valid UTF-8 once Thunar has read them, the bulk renamer can handle them afterwards. There's no explicit renamer module to just save the file names with the UTF-8 encoding, tho.
