P.S. Glad to see NeXT out here with us!   For inspiration, check out

Paul Burchard	<burcha was having this problem despite making sure that this was NOT a shared image with any other part of the program, and further, I had been careful to FIRST change the cell's icon and THEN free the old one (in case -setIcon: somehow needs to "deinstall" the old icon):

    [cell setIcon:newIconName];
    [[NXImage findImageNamed:oldIconName] free]; //!!! still flaky

Nevertheless I still had the problem.  My conclusion was that *somewhere* in the bowels of the AppKit, a pointer to the old icon was still being cachrd@geom.umn.edu>

Nevertheless I still had the problem.  My conclusion was that *somewhere* in the bowels of the AppKit, a pointer to the old icon was still being cached.  So to flush out any display caches I triggered an update before freeing the image:

    [cell setIcon:newIconName]; // cell == self->cell
    [self update]; // make sure image references flushed out of system!
    [[NXImage findImageNamed:oldIconName] free]; // OK!

This now appears to work.
