BTW a seemingly related problem appears in Konqueror - file mode. Icons are drawn and then again drawn in a slightly shifted position (as often occurs when a preview is drawn after the original icon is drawn, resulting in flicker, but that's another subject :-) ) However in current cooker (kdebase-3.1-27mdk) the original icons are not erased, resulting in double icons. See attached screenshot (38.9 kB). Best John attachment: double_icons.png

On this one, I had to modify my spec file to add a --with-java configure option to get it to build, but it seems unlikely that would have any effect on the icon display. Arn
