  Thunar will then load shortcuts from this file on first startup.

+ ===== Why does Thunar display the fallback icon for all files and folders? =====
+ 
+ If Thunar displays the fallback icon for all files and folders, as shown in the screenshot below, it is usually caused by one of the following problems:
+ 
+ {{ documentation:thunar-faq-broken-icons.png }}
+ 
+   - You don't have an [[http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fxsettings_2dspec|XSETTINGS]] manager running, or
+   - the selected icon theme does not follow the GNOME naming scheme for MIME icons or it does not contain any MIME icons at all.
+ 
+ The first problem can be fixed by running an XSETTINGS manager in your desktop session, for example xfce-mcs-manager or gnome-settings-daemon. Modern desktop environments automatically spawn a settings manager on startup, so you shouldn't experience this problem in Xfce or GNOME.
+ 
+ The second problem can be fixed by selecting another icon theme, which contains MIME icons (for example the //Rodent// icon theme, or the //GNOME// icon theme). In Xfce, you can do this by opening the **User Interface** preferences from the **Settings Manager**, and choosing a different theme in the **Icon Theme** page.
+ 
+ Thunar will be updated to comply with the [[http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2ficon_2dnaming_2dspec|Icon Naming Specification]] once the spec enters an usable state and the majority of icon themes follows the spec.
