Doing a find and then greping will certainly find the string within a string (in the file name) and works much better and faster. You are right PxT, this will not search the string within the file.

Code:
find / | grep lib

You will find a zillion occurances of the string 'lib' within a string. Here is a small sample and I've not even refined the grep or egrep (and just captured small output).

/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-pnm.a
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-pnm.la
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-pnm.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-ras.a
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-ras.la
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-ras.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.a
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.la
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-xpm.a
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-xpm.la
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-xpm.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-bmp.so
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-bmp.so.1
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-gif.so
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-gif.so.1

Yes, it does not search the actual file. I normally use PERL for that and not xargs. For some strange reason, xargs and I don't gel.... when I have to search files and strings within lots of files I use command line PERL.

NAME
gtk-update-icon-cache - Icon theme caching utility SYNOPSIS
gtk-update-icon-cache [--force] [--help] [--ignore-theme-index] [--index-only] [--source=name] [--quiet] [--validate] [iconpath] DESCRIPTION
gtk-update-icon-cache creates cache files for icon themes that can be used with mmap(2). It expects to be given the path to an icon theme directory containing an index.theme file, e.g. /usr/share/icons/hicolor, and writes a icon-theme.cache containing cached information about the icons in the directory tree below the given directory. GTK+ can use the cache files created by gtk-update-icon-cache to avoid a lot of system call and disk seek overhead when the application starts. Since the format of the cache files allows them to be mmap()ed shared between multiple applications, the overall memory consumption is reduced as well. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f, --force Overwrite an existing cache file even if it appears to be up to date. -?, --help Show help options. -t, --ignore-theme-index Do not check for the existence of 'index.theme' in the icon theme directory. Without this option, gtk- update-icon-cache refuses to create an icon cache in a directory which does not appear to be the toplevel directory of an icon theme. -i, --index-only Do not include image data in the cache -c, --source=name Output a C header file declaring a constant name with the contents of the icon cache. -q, --quiet Turn off verbose output. -v, --validate Validate existing icon cache. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: iconpath The path to an icon theme directory containing an index.theme file. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of gtk-update-icon-cache: NLSPATH. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Application exited successfully >0 Application exited with failure FILES
The following files are used by this application: /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache The command-line executable for the application. /usr/share/icons System icon directory /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gtk Location of developer documentation ATTRIBUTES
