It seems that the default value for the `w3m-icon-directory'
variable doesn't fit the directory in which you've installed
icon files.  Although we designed it so that it may fit the icon
directory when emacs-w3m is installed without configure options,
they will not always match.

In that case, putting the following line into the ~/.emacs-w3m.el
file will help.

(setq w3m-icon-directory "/usr/local/emacs-w3m-1.4/icons/")

Please never use "/usr/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/w3/",
which is for Emacs/W3, not for emacs-w3m. ;-)
