 |
|
I have installed fvwm and am using nautilus as my fm. However, I've lost all my gnome icons. All files just represent now as single sheet. Does anyone know how to restore normal icons?

Maybe this will help. from fvwm man page
| FVWM - Man page - fvwm wrote: |
ImagePath path
Specifies a colon separated list of directories in which to search for images (both monochrome and pixmap). To find an image given by a relative pathname, fvwm looks into each directory listed in turn, and uses the first file found.
If a directory is given in the form "/some/dir;.ext", this means all images in this directory have the extension ".ext" that should be forced. The original image name (that may contain another extension or no extension at all) is not probed, instead ".ext" is added or replaces the original extension. This is useful, for example, if a user has some image directories with ".xpm" images and other image directories with the same names, but ".png" images.
The path may contain environment variables such as $HOME (or ${HOME}). Further, a '+' in the path is expanded to the previous value of the path, allowing appending or prepending to the path easily.
For example:
ImagePath $HOME/icons:+:/usr/include/X11/bitmaps |

Write this into your ~/.gtkrc-2.0:
| Code: | | gtk-icon-theme-name = "<themename>" |
Replace <themename> with your theme's name. Logical, huh?

Another, somewhat heavier option, is to just run the gnome-settings-daemon.

If you use gtk-chtheme to switch gtk themes, add gtk-icon-theme-name="themename" to ~/.gtkrc.mine

curious_bob: no help...already have ImagePath set to icon path.
COiN3D: I don't have a .gtkrc-2.0...only .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 and it ONLY includes .gtkrc.mine.

Running the gnome-settings-daemon seems to be the fix. Thanks.

It's still there but it's noth in $PATH, try running /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon.
