Hello Yves-Alexis.

I think the packages are there (as other gtk2 programs are also running,
some of them with weird glitches/problems), but I do not know the name
of the main library file of gtk2. I was aware Thunar *should* use gtk2
but I wanted to see if it - for some reason used gtk3. Running

/usr/bin/Thunar

from the xterminal (xfce4-terminal) let's it show Icons properly so the
gtk2 library files seem to be fine (I guess).

By the way: I accidently opened the home folder this morning - and it
worked, but with a difference: one instance (think --daemon) started
using the starter in the toolbar was already running and had list view
activated (I usually use symbol view for most stuff in Thunar). I tried
this several times. But once I switched from list to large symbols in
the Thunar instance started clicking the home folder icon everything was
back to broken; and now, again, for further instances started using the
toolbar starter, too (though the first instance started via the toolbar
remained fine!).

I did not find anything on this. Can you point me somewhere this is
explained?

That does not work: I tried setting them, but they don't get saved by medit.

Thanks again for the quick response.

Kind regards

Andreas
