[Workaround] Can't set GTK Icons - Openbox - Help

I'm stuck! I have been trying to set the gtk icons and have no luck.

[mezoko@tux ~]$ cat /home/mezoko/.gtkrc-2.0

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/usr/share/themes/Rezlooks-Gilouche/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

include "/home/mezoko/.gtkrc.mine"

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT

[mezoko@tux ~]$ cat /home/mezoko/.gtkrc.mine

gtk-icon-theme-name = "Gion"
gtk-font-name = "Sans 8"
style "user-font"
{
        font_name = "Sans 8"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

Have no idea what I'm dong wrong, any help would be great!

The config files look correct, that is mine look completely analogous, so perhaps the problem has to do with where the Gion icons are located.  Do you have a folder called Gion in your .icons folder?

Edit: another idea.  What's in your /.config/openbox/autostart.sh?  I think the default openbox autostart.sh file tries to run gnome-settings-manager or something like that, which could confilict with the settings in gtkrc config files.

Yep I have a folder called Gion in my /home/mezoko/.icons
I've also tried gTango and Tango which are also located in my ~/.icons path

SOLVED:
I was using openbox-session to start openbox, for whatever reason this prevented my icon them from showing. After change openbox-session to openbox everything worked as it was suppose to. 0_o

Hrmmm, that's not really a fix, more like a workaround.  openbox-session is the proper way to start a pure openbox environment and it should not interfere with your icons either way.

fwojciec is probably right... if you don't have ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh then Openbox is running the default startup script: /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart.sh

You can easily fix this by creating a blank file (~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh), or better yet, move your startup apps from .xinitrc to your personal autostart.sh.  That's the way OB is intended to be used.

I did/do have a ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh so I don't think this would fix the problem.
