Do you mean that they're, now, not what they should be?  Or that you
never liked them?

Yes, they are there, and I do not like them.

 

On my Fedora 7 box, the 192x192 sub-directory is empty.  The other one
just has icons for OpenOffice.org.  Looking further up the directory
tree, I see ownership from a few different packages.

 rpm -qf /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
 hicolor-icon-theme-0.10-2
 setroubleshoot-1.9.4-2.fc7
 seahorse-1.0.1-6.fc7
 openoffice.org-core-2.3.0-6.5.fc7
 claws-mail-3.3.1-3.fc7

Same as my F8.

 

You can try rpm -qf on the filepath that you want to find out where it
came from, then restore the original package to replace any lost icons.

That is the problem. They are new icons. When real created those symbolic links,
pointing to these new icons, they became "immune" to theme changes (the themed icons are no longer used). These are just a few of them:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 15 2008-05-20 06:28 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-audio-3gpp2.png ->

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 13 2008-05-20 06:28 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-audio-amr.png -> audio-amr.png

 

But if that's not it, the following might be the direction to take:  I
went looking to see where my MP3 icons might come from, and discovered
the following:

 locate mp3.png
 /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/16x16/mimetypes/file-audio-mp3.png
 /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/16x16/mimetypes/gnome-mime-audio-x-mp3.png
 /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/24x24/mimetypes/file-audio-mp3.png
 /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/24x24/mimetypes/gnome-mime-audio-x-mp3.png

 /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-audio-x-mp3.png
 /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/96x96/mimetypes/file-audio-mp3.png
 /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/96x96/mimetypes/gnome-mime-audio-x-mp3.png
 /usr/share/icons/HighContrastLargePrint/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-audio-x-mp3.png
 /usr/share/icons/HighContrastLargePrintInverse/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-audio-x-mp3.png
 /usr/share/icons/LowContrastLargePrint/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-audio-x-mp3.png

I have the same. They belong to the several themes I have installed.

 

Perhaps you'll get your icons back just by picking a different theme.
Even if that means changing to another theme, then back to whichever
theme you want to use.

As I told you, changing themes have no longer any effect, because of those symbolic links.
The problem is that even deleting the links, or just moving the whole mimetypes directory
to another place, produces no change.

There must be some cache anywhere, I just do not know where...
