Installed icons only work for root?

[linus72]

hey guys
many times I install various icon themes and alot of the time I have noticed that only root can use them?
for instance I downloaded and installed Awoken icons in both my Slackware current and SalixOS 13.37 installs and everything works fine in current, but in my Salix install only root can use or even see the icons?!
using both lxappearance and xfce appearance the icons dont show up as available, but in root they do.

anyone know what the issue could be?
thanks

How exactly are you installing them?

hey Gapan
just as root moving them to /usr/share/icons or /usr/share/themes
only some, like Awoken, dont work, others do...
is there a way to do it besides that?
thanks

Are you sure all users have read access on them?
