My installation of GTK2.4 is in /usr/local. In /usr/local/share/icons 
there are two folders: Rodent and hicolor. hicolor doesn't show up in 
the list under Icon Theme, whereas ROX does so it must be looking 
somewhere else in addition to <prefix>/share/icons

Yeah, I don't have any trouble with the actual themes, I have about 16 
of them. Where does one get additional GTK icon themes?
