Public bug reported:
Choosing an icon eg: for a launcher via 'browse' opens a 2 pane 'Browse'
window. This browser is fine for getting to the folder you want, if you
know whats in that folder, but it only shows sub-folders not icons in
the folder. As you double-click down through the folders, and finally
double-click on a folder containing only icons it appears to be empty.
Once you understand this behaviour, you know to click 'Open' on any
folder that *might* contain icons, so that it opens the separate, single
pane 'Browse Icons' window, and shows whether there are any icons
there or not. Seems to me there are two problems with this:-
1. It is counter-intuitive, especially for newer users - you can easily
assume that a folder is empty when it is really stuffed full of icons.
2. It just makes finding the right icon so much harder that it already
is (because there are so many different folders to search).
