Thanks for your help with this so far. I did this and there were quite a
few "No such file or directory" errors throughout the files. I dumped
the output of the grep statement to a file, and posted it on a website
if you would like to review it. It is at
http://www.skidawg.org/evo.strace.icons.log.gz (it's about 30 KB gzipped
now).

One place it was looking is under /usr/share/icons/default/cursors/ On
my FC5 system, the only thing under /usr/share/icons/default/ is a
single file called index.theme. Also the directory /home/user/.icons
does not exist on my system.

I noticed that anytime it is looking for a cursors directory, in a
directory path, I can usually find the parent directory to cursors, but
not the actual cursors directory.

As far as the gnome-icon-theme and hicolor-icon-theme, I checked and I
believe I have the most up to date ones available for my system (without
compiling from source).

I appreciate your assistance with this so far.
