I'm still curious to know how one can find out which files are opened by any program during startup; strace mainly showed which files could not be found.
Did you make sure to trace children too?
'strace -f -e trace=open myapp' should do it.
Ahh, I missed the -f option. Thank you. Trying it, it didn't show the specific file that failed, but did give some more pointers to look for. I found out that this message appears when a "QWebview" is started (python module: pqHelp.py). This appears to be an HTML viewer which uses exactly one icon (reload). In the strace logfile there was one mention of opening /usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme. This file appears to just list all available icons. As a last shot in the dark, i decided to run identify on all files with "reload" in the name, but the output is similar for all files. I guess I'd best leave it with that. It was a fun experiment, but alas not entirely succesful. I got the application working for what I want to use it for and will have to live with the warning message. No biggie. mvg, Guus
