The icon theme name should be available as an XSetting, if your desktop is running an X settings manager. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/xsettings-spec/xsettings-spec-0.5.html for the mechanism, and http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/XSettingsRegistry for registered settings. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
