I just managed to restore X-Win functionality by renaming ~/.startxwinrc and
running the following commands, which I have now installed in permanent
postinstall scripts, to ensure that mime type and icon caches are updated:
$ head /etc/postinstall/zp_[ac]*.dash
==> /etc/postinstall/zp_all-icon-themes.dash <==
#!/bin/dash
# zp_all-icon-themes.dash - rebuild all icon theme caches where index exists
if [ -x /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache ]
then
for index in /usr/share/icons/*/index.theme \
/usr/*/sys-root/*/share/icons/*/index.theme
do
dir=${index%/*}
/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force $dir || :
==> /etc/postinstall/zp_cache-shared-mime-info.dash <==
#!/bin/dash
# zp_cache-shared-mime-info.dash - rebuild shared mime info caches
[ -x /usr/bin/update-mime-database ] && [ -d /usr/share/mime ] && \
/usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime || :
You might also want to force rebuild the font cache by running:
$ /etc/postinstall/zp_fontconfig_cache_1.sh
