Hi, Exactly one week later is still haven't got working icons on my desktop and in preferences:/// etc.
They still take on the icon-theme I choose using Gnome Theme Manager, and are displayed as xxx.desktop. When double-clicking them, a message displays the default choice of options when double-clicking an executable text-file. All other errors mentioned in this thread earlier are resolved though. For example: when viewing ~/.gnome-desktop/Prunllebak (dutch for Trash) it contains: cat .gnome-desktop/Prullenbak [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Prullenbak Type=X-nautilus-trash URL=trash: X-Nautilus-Icon=gnome-fs-trash-empty I've noticed that after creating a new user-account (with the default language), the new user has the same problem. So it looks like some system-wide problem. Here are the installed versions: ii gnome 23 a complete desktop environment and ii gnome-desktop- 2.2.0.1-2 Common files for GNOME 2 desktop apps ii gnome-pkgview 0.0.7-1 Display the version of your GNOME 2 ii gnome-utils 2.2.0.3-1 GNOME desktop utilities ii libgnome-deskt 2.2.0.1-2 Utility library for loading .desktop ii libnautilus2-2 2.2.1-1 Shared libraries that part of Nautilus ii nautilus 2.2.1-1 File manager and graphical shell ii nautilus-apoth 0.2-4 A CVS view for Nautilus ii nautilus-data 2.2.1-1 Development files of Nautilus (GNOME2) ii nautilus-gtkht 0.3.2-7 NautilusView component which embeds a I would really like to know what could be causing the problem and/or how to resolve this system-wide problem.
