I've done a little more testing and the 127 return code is coming from the "/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force 
/usr/share/icons/..." command line in the scripts.  I get the 127 error message even if I run this command from the 
command line.  This call is supposed to update the icon cache file with the latest entries.  The icon-theme.cache file 
does exist for both the hicolor and gnome directories.  It appears that gtk-update-icon-cache does not return a zero exit 
code; but I don't see any reason for the 127 (file not found) error.
