Nautilus ignores icon theme
I have the GNOME desktop environment installed, and Nautilus as my file manager. I am using a custom icon theme in GNOME, installed in /usr/share/icons, and it's working for every app - but nautilus.
Nautilus doesn't seem to use the icon theme, unless I run it as root? What is causing this problem, and as important, how do I fix it?

Re: Nautilus ignores icon theme
Have you checked the permissions on the theme you installed in /usr/share/icons to make sure others besides root can read it?

Re: Nautilus ignores icon theme

Sorry I didn't reply, I was absent over the weekend. The permissions for the icons are rwxr-xr-x so Nautilus under any account should be able to access it. Other programs do respect the icon theme btw.
