But the main point is still: no one is actually *providing* the debian-* icons. and especially not amongst the "fall back" themes in the desktop environments. In my K menu, I either get questionmark icons or "blue folders" as the icon for these. Is your expectation that the artists magically should create these icons in their themes, or that the debian icon theme maintaitners should copy/symlink these icon names to something or that the debian icon theme maintainers should create the icons? I can't believe that it is expected to be shown with the default "no icon" icon. /Sune -- Do you know how can I overclock a prompt from Office?
