Thank you for the suggestions Malcolm. I've managed to figure out a way to resolve this but my way is only a weird hack. Developers might have some insight into what's going on here. I noticed inside the /usr/local/libexec/mixer_applet2 file there are paths to the icons hard coded in. The paths look like this: NONE/share/pixmaps/mixer/gnome-mixer-applet.png Each icon referenced has a NONE prepended where /usr should be. I assume this is because NONE gets dynamically replaced with /usr at execution time. Using sed to replace all occurrences of NONE with /usr fixes the problem. This is strange considering that all the other applets in this directory also reference their icons using a NONE prefix and all the other applets properly DISPLAY their icons too. For some reason this one applet when executed fails to have NONE dynamically replaced with /usr. I'd love to have a developer venture a guess as to why that may be. Is there a developer list for gnome-applets? <|>/\\/|<|> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Malcolm Tredinnick" <malcolm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2003 4:36 PM Subject: Re: Red X where volume control applet should be > My first thought would be to have a look in $HOME/.xsession-errors.
