Sure enough, so it is -- under that name, only, and not under the name
epiphany.png

That's effectively what I did with the one I have -- in the drawer on the
panel. Can I, and should I, also drag it to the Internet list under the
Main Menu? If so, how? It did nothing when I tried it directly; covered
one whole panel with iterations of the icon when I inadvertently dragged
it to a panel; and refused to be dragged, with a permission error box,
when I tried just dragging it out onto the desktop.

It did let me copy it, rather than drag it, onto the desktop; but I still
can't find a way to put it onto the menu next to the name.

No -- or more likely I don't know quite how to use it ... 

Thanks, though; I'll try to figure it out.

OK : I get

[root at localhost ~]# gtk-update-icon-cache
[root at localhost ~]#

How do I tell what it did? The icon is still not next to the name in the
Internet list off the Main Menu -- though I haven't logged out and back in ....
