<p>This typically occurs for users that are not running
the full GNOME Desktop. By default,
<tt>gnome-session</tt> will start
<tt>gnome-settings-daemon</tt> automatically. This
daemon is responsible for setting many GTK+ and GNOME
preferences including the icon theme. If you are not
running the GNOME Desktop, make sure the following has
been added to your X11 session startup preferences:</p>
<pre>
/usr/X11R6/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &
</pre>
<p>If you are running the full GNOME Desktop, there may be
a problem executing <tt>gnome-settings-daemon</tt>. Try
running
<tt>/usr/X11R6/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon</tt> from
the command line, and check for any errors. Most
problems can be solved by reinstalling
<tt>sysutils/gnomecontrolcenter2</tt>.</p>
