Imagine the iconloader needs to display an icon of the size x. In case an
icon of this size isn't available in the respective directory which contains
the icons of the size x the "Type"-entry determines how the iconloader
should display the icon instead:

STATIC: the iconloader will use the icon bitmap of the size y which is
matches the size x most closely. The iconbitmap will be displayed at size y.

SCALABLE: the iconloader will use the icon bitmap of the size y which is
matches the size x most closely. The iconbitmap will be scaled and displayed
at size x.

TRESHOLD: the iconloader will use the icon bitmap of the size y which is
matches the size x most closely.
If  (|y-x| < Treshold) then the icon will be displayed at size y, otherwise
it will be scaled to size x

Using "Treshold" (which is the default  anyways) should work (and definitely
did in the past).
If it doesn't work correctly you might want to file a bug report.

Copying and symlinking is evil ...
