Description of problem: If I choose to customize the icon for something on the desktop, the special places in the file chooser are: <homedir> Desktop / /usr/share/pixmaps Should that be /usr/share/icons instead of /usr/share/pixmaps? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.20.0-4.fc8
Not really, no. /usr/share/icons is the subtree containing icon themes. Random crappy icons are mostly in /usr/share/pixmaps
