    By "inherit" I mean the way GNOME handles icon themes. There's a 
file (theme.index) where you have to declare with which other icon 
theme(s) does your particular icon-theme relates, shares or otherwise 
may fill up some gaps, in order words, use those icons as missing icons 
from your current theme. This file is done by the people who release an 
icon theme. So even though your or I or anyone else maybe using the 
Bluecurve icon-theme, still some icons have to be pulled from other 
sources, the most commonly "inherited" icon theme by pretty much all 
themes is the gnome icon-theme (being it the one with the broadest icon 
library), and when that fails to provide an icon, then 
/usr/share/pixmaps is searched for (I'm pretty sure that's the order it 
cascades, if I'm wrong, I apologize).

By that path, I meant any other icon path too, so yeah, in your case in 
particular, /usr/share/icons/gnome would be the place to look for it.

Actually I thought you did that, but I'll add a report for this with two 
our cases to back up the "bug". I just wanna add, that I did a full 
system installation, not an upgrade, from FC3 to FC4. Since I have my 
/home and /usr/local paths as separate partitions, I did not lose 
anything I cared for, at most some of the programs living in /usr/local 
should be re-built with GCC4 (if at all needed). I'll go add the 
bugzilla now.

Thanks for the clarification, and let us hope this is a simple enough 
issue to solve.
