Found it. The package xinit which I've always requested at any new installation as being fundamental to any X activity e.g. TeX or xpdf now induces adwaita-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme which provide the bulk of files under /usr/share/icons/. Q1. Why are these deemed so essential? Re installing xinit, I still have 1.4 G under /usr/share/icons/ of which 630M under Adwaita/ and 738M under gnome/. Have you installed xinit? Q2. If you have, what trick do I need to pull to reduce the size of these 2 subdirectories? If you have not, that explains your small usage. Thank you!
