[K12OSN] Changed Icons -- Strange!!

[steve at hargadon.com]

I had this happen, and I googled quite a bit, but could not find a
solution.  It was some kind of gnome theme problem, and I ended up
reinstalling.  If you go to preferences > theme and can't get the theme
prefernces box to come up, it's likely you're in the same situation.

Hello all,

Yesterday, i had an unexpected problem as ...

when i logged in as a normal user, to my surprise i found that the icons
on my desktop has been changed!!,  they have become as a paper shape
with a turn at one of the corner(bookmark type)while earlier i had users
home, trash, start here,nautilus etc. all looking as their original
icons, the thing is how it has happened and why that too without my
knowledge...

now in this situation i would like to know :-

1) what has happened(seems some gnome conf file has changed!! ... my
view)

2) why it has happened??, is that normal?? has someone also faced the
same situation??

3) how may i get back the original settings(icons)??

4) Preventive measure to be followed.

any other info or suggestions are always welcomed.

i am using redhat 9, gnome 2.2

regards,

bimal pandit
