Ye, I've been thinking about this. My current feeling is to add hicolour-icon-theme to opt-depends and then put an echo about updating the icon cache in the post_install. Currently, hicolour-icon-theme is a depend which seems rather overkill to me, and the icon cache is updated from post_install 2009/4/8 Jan de Groot <jan@jgc.homeip.net>

The pkg will not build if I don't have sudo enabled. It's because gtk-update-icon-cache is used during the make install, regardless of directory. See the error message below.

Wreck it out. First of all, a PKGBUILD should _NEVER_ touch the system it is built on. Second, hicolor icon caches should _NEVER_ be in any package, it should be generated from post_install.
