Funny.. =)

I was running planner.exe from "C:\Program Files\Planner\lib" dir...

Changed one dir up and now it can't find:

"C:\Program Files\Planner\pixmaps"
"C:\Program Files\Planner\icons"

They are missing "share" part of path...

In any case paths _should be independent of location where you run 
"planner.exe". They shoudl be dependent of "planner.exe" location, which 
can be obtained easily.
