Ok, I installed gnome-icon-theme-1.0.2 and gnome-themes-2.2.1. This
didn't solve the problem. It seems GNOME is looking for
$prefix/share/icons/hicolor (KDE has this directory). If I symlink one
of the icon themes in gnome-icon-theme-1.0.2 to
$prefix/share/icons/hicolor, then I get icons in Nautilus. Is this how
it's suppose to work?
