Re: Minor irritation : no icon under FC4

This is really strange, it would be quite sloppy if Fedora packaged Epiphany without a proper icon.

It gets stranger. I had thought before that Fedora had *two* arrays of icons to choose from, and now I'm sure. As will appear presently.

Very Dumb Question : Where do I get one, and how do I tell FC4 to use it??

Try right-clicking the question mark-launcher, select Properties, and click on the icon button. An icon chooser will appear, and you can select one you like.
Epiphany's wasn't there -- but Mozilla's old Big Red Lizard was, spectacles and all. So I put the RedHat Generic Browser icon, which Mozilla also uses under Fedora, onto Epiphany; went to Properties from the one like it for Mozilla -- and the Big Red Lizard was nowhere to be found.

I tried putting the orange question mark onto Mozilla, and then went into Properties for it again -- and again couldn't find the BRL.

I've got a lot of stuff running at the moment, which I don't want to interrupt; so I haven't tried logging out and back in. Yet. But I did close the browsers and the drawer, and try both again. Now there's no BRL in either array! I had hoped to get a path for it, and get it onto Mozilla that way ....

If no suitable icon is shown, you can also try using the GNOME search tool (Places > Find files...) to search your file system for a file called 'web-browser.png' and if you found it, drag it directly to the icon button on the epiphany launcher properties notebook.

Tried that, too. It searched Home, and quickly found nothing. Told it to search Filesystem -- and it's still looking.

Any idea what the Big Red Lizard calls itself when it's at home??
