1 I'm trying to configure my gnome Applications menu. I go to the
2 'start-here' window (URL <start-here:> in galeon, or whatever), click on the
3 "Applications" icon, and can then create a new folder which will
4 subsequently show up as a menu on the gnome Applications menu. When I try
5 to assign an icon to the folder, however, the icon shows up in the window
6 from the "start-here" dialog, but not on the menu. Is there something
7 tangled in gnome, or am I missing something?

9 If a create a launcher instead of a folder I can attach an icon to it, no
10 problem, but not for folders. There are already several folders in the
11 Applications menu that _do_ have icons - probably inherited the gnome
12 general configuration, but new folders don't want to accept an icon.

14 I've mucked around in the .gnome, .gnome2, .gconf .nautilus and other
15 direcories looking for where this stuff is implemented, but it's pretty
16 tangled up!
