As long as the control center for the 2.2 series hasn't been packaged,
you need to use gconftool-2 or gconf-editor. Set
/desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme
to the desired value whicht would be "gnome" at this time.
There is also /desktop/gnome/file_views/icon_theme
Is this one obsolete or does it have a different function?
BTW: I've packaged + installed the fresh control-center-2.2.0 from
ftp.gnome.org. It seems to have a number of issues. The new
gnome-theme-manager, which is used to set icon, widget and metacity
themes alway hangs unless I disable fam. gnome-keybinding-properties
is also affected by this bug..
As bugzilla.gnome.org suggests, other users experience the same
problem.
