Adam, do you run GNOME? Do you have zenity installed? If so, you might be bitten by a bug in zenity: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4925 (I guess I could confirm it myself, but someone else really should). There is a patch attached, which fixes a *number* of issues with zenity's claimed emulation of gdialog, could you try it? Maybe Mr Crozat needs to be made aware of it, since AFAIK zenity is now part of GNOME? And I am not sure Austin has rights to fix it now it's in main. Oh, you can always: 1)Try it in KDE, or unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID 2)Unset DISPLAY, and make sure you have cdialog installed 3)Uninstall zenity, and ensure you have Xdialog installed. Of course, the better solution to you fixing your /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme all the time is for flepied to make it %config(noreplace).
