Am coming really late into the conversation here. I've seen "similarly different" since I started doing installs via debootstrap. I'm using unstable and Xfce. Last debootstrap was couple days ago, and I still saw what I'm seeing here. The classic fallback "x box" that you normally see in some/many browsers pops up in when icons are *apparently* missing. My setup is extremely basic but some one of those very few subsequent package installs done post debootstrap each time corrects the problem here. Because it does, it's the old "out of sight, out of mind" kind of deal so I hadn't addressed it yet to determine the core cause. I know, I know.... *my bad* KDE4 pulling high contrast icons might be its version of using the "x box" as default. Maybe KDE4 developers have instructed it to roll down the list of available icon directories if it encounters missing icons whereas Xfce's fix is to turn to the classic x icon. Given the two options, I like what yours is doing because yours still visually distinguishes between apps, etc.. Mine becomes self-corrected early on with no intentional intervention from me. Two ways that could happen are 1) one of my few installed packages brings with it an entire new set of icon directories and/or 2) one of those few installed packages maybe overwrites core, errant system icon paths somewhere. Just thinking out loud. :) Cindy -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * kinda just strolling with those plastic sporks today * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
