I don't think there's a non-hackish way to do it, but you can probably accomplish this by replacing emblem-readonly with a fully transparent PNG in the icon theme. Look for emblem-readonly in /usr/share/icons/<themename> where <themename> is the name of the icon theme you use (possibly "gnome", which I'll use for example). find /usr/share/icons/gnome/ -name 'emblem-readonly.*' Create each of these under ~/.local/share/icons/gnome, keeping the directory structure in tact. But replace all of them with fully transparent images. Kind of hackish, but it should do the trick. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
