Thanks, a really fast answer!

SHIFT-CTRL! I should have try them before asking...

However, I've another question that is related to xffm.

Is the mime types editor working in the beta?

I'm asking so because I've installed the gnome icons extra packs 
(gorilla, nuvola, lush, etc) and xffm doesn't picks up the correct icon 
for some file types (.pdf and .tar.gz) so I've tried to use the mime editor.

I drag and drop the icon from the right pane to the left one and when I 
save the assignments, a dialog pops up with the following message:

/home/gt/.themes/usr/share/icons/Lush.mime.xml

where /usr/share/icons/ is the location of the original Lush themes.

If I close this dialog nothing is written nowhere, especially in the 
.themes directory in my home.

Any hints?

Regards,

Gianluca
