backtrace

I just took a look into nautilus, nemo and dolphin, which all already have this
feature.

IMO the GUI approach there to select a custom icon is very self-explaining and
natural, and I think we should do the same.
You just have to open the "properties" dialog and click the folder icon there
to select a custom icon.

What I am missing on all 3 file managers: simple way to reset icon to default.

So far I did not look into the related code, I dont know yet where the
icon-path per folder is stored, seems to be no hidden file in the folder.

Will check the bugtrackers and the git histories to see how they did it. IMO it
would be great if e.g. a switch from nautilus/nemo/dolphin to thunar would
preserve the custom folder icons !

Regarding your patch, something seems to be wrong , I get a seg.fault from it,
a second right after starting thunar (applied patch on current master ) ...
attached the backtrace.
