When I try to use "Slide Show" screen saver, I get a lot of these errors.
The files are there but I get a "not valid" error. Does anyone know why?

Hmm, I don't have a 'Slide Show' screen saver
available on my KDE desktop, but most of the
slide show programs I've ever seen want images
to display (e.g. jpeg, etc). You seem to have
pointed your slide show to a directory of icons,
rather than a directory of images.

Regards,
Larry

This error comes from a bad index.desktop file in your icon theme directory.
Icon themes are separated into sizes (16x16, 22x22, 32x32 etc. etc.) and in
each size directory there are several icon types (mimetypes, action, apps
etc.). The index.desktop file has an entry 'Directories=' with all these
dirs, separated by commas as a value, like this:

...
Directories=16x16/apps,16x16/devices,16x16/mimetypes,16x16/filesystems...
... etc.

Below that, ALL of these directories are mentioned in a 'group' section:

[16x16/actions]
Size=16
Context=Actions
Type=Threshold
[22x22/actions]
Size=22
Context=Actions
Type=Threshold
[32x32/actions]
Size=32
Context=Actions
... etc.

The error you get comes from these 2 not being in sync. Either there is
something in the Directories line that isn't in the group section or the
other way round (I'm not sure if this results in errors too btw). I know
it's a hell, but once you get these 2 in sync (and correct, as to what you
realy HAVE in the icon directory) your errors will disappear.
