Hm, it's a Icon Selection (GtkIconView from gtk+3 toolkit) behavior more than a exo problem

Theo Linkspfeifer submitted a patch:

Exo icon chooser adds the name of symlinked icon to its target, but does not check these alternative names when doing a search.

Remaining problems:

• symlinked icons which point to a target outside of the icons directory are dropped (bug 16740)
• symlinked icons which point to another symlink are dropped
• symlinked icons may belong to a different category, and therefore not show up unless the target's category is selected
