Thanks. I have just created the ~/gtkrc-2.0 file with the following contents:

[file-icons]
show-filesystem=false
show-home=true
show-trash=true
show-removable=true

but the filesystem icon is still shown after a X restart. So, the
~/gtkrc-2.0 has apparently no effect. I am using Fedora Core 6. Any
further ideas?
