Comment 10 for bug 1087166

I tried the script you recomended. It worked well. I now have the hp system tray icon. Thank you very much.

One suggestion is to put an initial check to ensure the "fs-icons-ubuntu.tar.bz2" files exists before the script continues.

Also, the files added under "/usr/share/" shoud have Read/Write privileges for root, and Read privileges for Group and Others.
Currently, ALL of the sim-links created in /usr/share/icons have Read, Write, and Execute privileges for Group and for Others.
Similarly, ALL of the files in /usr/share/fs-icons-ubuntu/ have Read, Write, and Execute privileges for Group and for Others.
This may be a side-effect of the untarring process, so you might want to explicitly recursively set the permissions appropriately.

Finally, the script is a great tool because it is very easy to use, and it is great that the user can run it to change the selected FS icons (expecially unoverridable icons)! The only drawback is that once the icons are installed, other tools like gnome-tweak-tool or unsettings can not be used to change the icon theme because they do not read the sim-links under /usr/share/icons. Perhaps it would be better to intall the icons under "/usr/share/icons" insteead of "/usr/share/fs-icons-ubuntu/" ?
