Bruce, how do you install icons into ~/.icons/hicolor? If I install
only my icons and create an index.theme file, listing the directory of
these two icons, then different applications suddenly cannot find
their icons anymore (most notably network manager applet). Is there
something special I have to consider, when creating the index.theme?
Or is that just the way it is? (I took the index.theme from the
example in the freedesktop specification and reduced to my needs)

Thanks and regards!
