gtk.Image().set_from_icon_name() provides incorrectly scaled icon image

[garycmartin]

Using:

image = gtk.Image()
image.set_from_icon_name('insert-table', -1)

... to generate an image to place into a gtk.Button (in the toolbar) seems to be acquiring an incorrectly sized icon. When sugar scaling is set to 75 the icon is too large, and when set to 100 it is a little too small.

Code exhibiting the issue can be seen at line 187:

Aren't we doing the same in other parts of Sugar? Maybe the icon doesn't follow the guidelines in the HIG?

I see that we are passing gtk.ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR instead of -1 in the control panel.

Already checked the svg icon, it is fine, and it looks fine when added as a toolbar button. It is just when using set_from_icon_name() that the size doesn't match the rest of what sugar is doing. Note that I'm using this for abiword.TableCreator() as it doesn't take parameters for an icon to use (if you leave it alone it shows a blurry grey bitmap). As TableCreator() is a child of GtkButton, I went for using set_from_icon_name() to try and provide the correct sugar icon.

This in not needed anymore in Write activity.

Closing as not related to sugar.
