I'm not sure I understand "inherit" in this context. I did say, I think,
that the machine in question is one that I upgraded from FC1 to FC4 -- and
should have said, if I didn't, that everything including the icon was
normal before the upgrade. So I should have inherited -- if I understand
aright.

To judge from the error box I get, FC4 seems to expect it to be in
/usr/share/icons/gnome rather than the one above, where it is.

Oh good. By yourself? Thank you for that. I can't seem to get my head
around bugzilla for some reason ....
