List of locations in which to search for image files.

The images for icons shown in the tool bar are also looked up in these locations.

If an element is a string, it defines a directory to search. If an element is a variable symbol whose value is a string, that value defines a directory to search. If an element is a variable symbol whose value is a list, the value is used as a list of directories to search.

Subdirectories are not automatically included in the search.
