[Nix-dev] difficulties in making glade derivation

[Adam Vogt]

Thanks for the tip, glade can find its icons now.

I might also note that Glade was picky, and needed something from the 
hicolor-theme (the directories or the index.theme) to be propagated to the 
build for it to install the pixmaps.

On a side note, what would be the easiest way to get some working 
derivations that I made merged with the main nixpkgs tree?
