Dear Maintainer,

While trying to set a folder's icon, choosing one in my home has no results.
this happens for every folder. All this, in my home folder, so I'm the owner,
for the old ones and for every newly created.

Looking at logs one can find this:

set_icon: assertion 'icon_location != NULL' failed
g_object_get_is_valid_property: property 'file' of object class 'GlyLoader' is
not readable

This happens every time.
