[Ardour-Users] Trying to figure out what the problem is

[Wendy Van Wynsberghe]

Hey Rodrigo,

wow, that's pretty strange!
I have just reinstalled Ardour 2 through my package manager (synaptic)
--> but the same errors pop up.

---> How can I fix this icon - and how strange
1) it got corrupted
2) is it so fix this - also how?
3) everything jams on an icon!

Thanks for having a look
