Hi,

I just installed openoffice 3.1 on my Ubuntu 9 which I messed up a little.
Currently the menu items do not show the icons.
In  /usr/share/applications/ooo-writer.desktop for example the icon line 
shows:
Icon=ooo-writer

The ooo-writer files are located in:
# find /usr/share/icons -name ooo-writer.*
/usr/share/icons/Human/22x22/apps/ooo-writer.png
/usr/share/icons/Human/scalable/apps/ooo-writer.svg
/usr/share/icons/Human/48x48/apps/ooo-writer.png
/usr/share/icons/Human/24x24/apps/ooo-writer.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/ooo-writer.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/ooo-writer.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/ooo-writer.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/ooo-writer.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/ooo-writer.png

but most other applications icons (for example gnome-commander) reside in:
# find /usr/share/ -name 'gnome-commander.*'
/usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-commander.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-commander/gnome-commander.xpm
or dictionary:
# find /usr/share -name 'accessories-dictionary.*'
/usr/share/icons/gnome/22x22/apps/accessories-dictionary.png
/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/apps/accessories-dictionary.svg
/usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/apps/accessories-dictionary.png
/usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/apps/accessories-dictionary.png
/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/apps/accessories-dictionary.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/22x22/apps/accessories-dictionary.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/48x48/apps/accessories-dictionary.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/128x128/apps/accessories-dictionary.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/64x64/apps/accessories-dictionary.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/16x16/apps/accessories-dictionary.png
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/apps/accessories-dictionary.png


So how can I control which directory is used for icons??
