In my installation, I have an icon folder which is hidden in my home directory. My name is 'user' so I browse using Nautilus to /home/user/.icons
I have full permissions in this folder.
If you wish to do the same with /root/.icons
Root has full permissions in this folder. I think the simplest method of achieving this is to launch Nautilus file browser with root privileges.
To do this, press ALT +F2 to open the 'Run Application' dialog.
type the command 'gksudo Nautilus'
You will see a graphical 'super user do' login window, type in your password. Nautilus will open with Root privileges. You can now browse straight to the /root/.icons folder and make changes as you wish.
I would advise you to immediately modify the background of your 'Root Nautilus' window. This window enables you to modify and gives you ultimate power over your system. In order to do this, go to the menu 'edit' then 'backgrounds and emblems' and drag a suitable background (perhaps gnome feet, or a brushed metal background) to make this window immediately distinguishable from the normal 'user' Nautilus window.
It is possible to find scripts for Nautilus which enable you to use a right click menu to accomplish many simple tasks, such as launching a Root Nautilus window here, or Root Terminal here, copy to, move to, or any number of other tasks which I sorely missed when I first moved away from using a Windows environment.
