Local Icon Directory

Hi People! I feel like I've forgotten the keyboard for select all (Hyperdrive - see it). Here's the job. I want to use a local icon image dir within the use dir /home/foo/icon-collection and then have custom shortcuts use it. I've tried Icon=$HOME/icon-collection/coolicon.png Icon=~/icon-collection/coolicon.png I just want all custom shortcuts to point the same icon dir, regardless of user. I have to set up some machines for the senior centre. I don't want to have to write out each user. I know there's a way, but I can't seem to remember it or find it on google. It's likely something simple like ctrl A. I know I've used it before on red hate but I can't remember. I've already created a temporary cheat by symlinking the icon to /usr but I'd rather do it the right way. Thanks to all in advance. Kate -------------------------------------------------------
