Would it be totally crazy to patch GTK+ to do two things when a cache miss causes a missing icon to be displayed in a program: * Fall back to not using the cache (why doesn't GTK+ do this anyway!!) * Touch a flag file somewhere on disk Then we could have a cron job that runs daily. If the flag file exists, it regenerates the icon cache files and removes the flag file. Regards, -- Sam Morris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
