Hmmm.

I've got lots in /usr/share/picons and elsewhere in app directories on
my system:

$ locate .xpm | grep ^/usr/share/pixmaps | wc
    285     285   10372
$ locate .xpm | grep -v /usr/share/pixmaps | grep ^/usr | wc
   3079    3079  163776

Can you tell me why /usr/share/pixmaps is better?

Thanks!
Peter
