Hi,

We like these discussions to stay on the fvwm list so please
respond to "fvwm_at_fvwm.org" instead of to the person that answers.

In 2.2.4, You should use "ImagePath" only. The other 2 commands
"PixmapPath" and "IconPath" still work but they are obsolete.

You should not use an equal sign as you show above, the statement
should look like:

ImagePath /usr/local/icons:+

(Use the ":+" at the end to augment the builtin path.)

You can build in the correct path and completly remove the ImagePath
statement from your .fvwm2rc. Do "./configure --help" to see how.
