When the caching would be changed to look for the icon-cache under /var, it would be fine with me. A quick&dirty (or well-designed&clean) solutions might be symlinks like /usr/share/icons/.../.icon-cache -> /var/cache/icon-cache/usr_share_icons_..._icon-cache and 'gtk-update-icon-cache' writes either directly into this file or reads the symlink and recreates it. Else, are you sure that all possible icon-directories can be enumerated in this way? (thtat's not a critic, I just do not know it ;)) Enrico
