But then people are also writing "don't use e17, it's old as hell". ;-)
Well, I actually used it since the famous days hell froze over. And
always from cvs/svn/git (or whatever the repro manager of the year was
called). So I am used to things breaking once in a while...

Icon theme, hmmm. I always thought that the definition of the
application is with it's desktop file. There is specified an icon file.
And the icon file exists in the standard icon folders. And it also
doesn't get displayed if I specify the absolute path in desktop file.
Further, E seems to be able to handle the image file type as I can see
it in the "create icon" dialoge. E just doesn't want to remember this.

made things worse (see my other post).

That's cool. Thanks! :-) I was looking for such an option for ages. Now
if some gnome of E program revives this folder at least I don't have to
see it all the time hanging around in my home folder. :-)
