Dick,
There are two generic logs: messages and syslog, at least on
Slackware. I'd
look there, first. Depending on how log rotation is set up on your
distribution you'll probably find, e.g., messages, messages.1,
messages.2,
etc. Depending on the time cron/log.dail runs logrotate I'd look
toward the
head of messages and the tail of messages.1 and their syslog
equivalents for
anything looking like ot would make a new volumn.
I do find syslog, syslog.1 syslog.2.gz ... syslog.7. gz. In syslog I
find a bunch of lines talking about thumbnails:

I have no idea if that has anything to do with my issue, but I'm
guessing thumbnails and icons are somewhat similar.
Is dmesg the same idea as messages? I don't have anything in /var/log
named messages, but I do have a pile of dmesg files, dmesg, dmesg.0,
dmesg.1.gz ... through .4.gz.
In reading up on how to look at dmesg I discovered dmesg --follow. I'll
start that and see if anything turns up there.
Thanks for your recommendations.
