Ah... running on /usr/share/icons alone will not help. But after figuring out the expected 'icon-theme.cache' files, I executed the command for the 5 requested directories. Then gedit starts significantly faster. Unfortunately, the cache must be renewed manually when things change there and I have ugly 'icon-theme.cache' files which are not covered by the package-management. Enrico
