The emblems (like emblem-symbolic-link) appear too big in nautilus. They cover almost the whole underlying icon. For the icon view this could be solved by setting the size for [scalable/emblems] to 92 instead of 48 in the index.theme. But this seems not to work for the list view.
Someone gave me a hint how to solve the problem for the list view: the MinSize for [scalable/emblems] must be smaller, e.g. 4 instead of 32.
This is a duplicate. Changing the sizes in index.theme is the wrong answer to the problem. Nautilus is simply requesting the sizes badly. Nautilus needs to be fixed upstream. And there is a bug filed, as mentioned in bug #5144 which this is a duplicate of. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 5144 ***
