How to determine which icon set is used

Hi,
I would like to ask if there is a way (e.g. a settings file) to
determine the name of the current icon theme (e.g. Oxygen-Refit) apart
from the gconf command line tool.

(Note: I am interested to determine the icon-theme name programmatically
within Java code, so I cannot use methods involving GUI tools.)

Thanks in advance,
cyberpython.

You could look for the "Net/IconThemeName" XSetting.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your immediate response.
Is there a way I can access xsettings through java (e.g. by invoking a
command line tool as a seperate process) ?

Regards, cyberpython.

If anyone is interested, I found a Perl script that does exactly that and using this script as a guide I came up with the followong code in Java (thet text above the code is in Greek but it really says nothing of great importance):
