[Tango-artists] pdf file icon

[Parminder Gupta]

Rodney,

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, the file managers I use (pcmanfm or 
thunar or rox) do not create pdf thumbnails (atleast I do not know how).

When I have the time, I will probably create my own set of icons and then post a 
link here with the complete theme just in case someone else is looking. Not sure 
when it will happen, but it will someday :)
