Hello,
I have written a tutorial to help the adding of a new leader, have a look to it ... ( see the link in my signature )
See particularly the explanations for the right repertory to choose to put the leader ( between CIV III and PTW ) and the modification of the Pediaicons.txt file
If you have not the answer in this tutorial, tell me ....

I had this problem when I started adding leaderheads.
Most of the pcxs go in the Art/leaderheads folder, but the one for the diplomacy advisor goes in the Art/advisors folder, therefore the line in the pediaicons.txt file should read:
Art/advisors/XX_all.pcx.
When it is written as:
Art/leaderheads/XX_all.pcx, then it shows the old leader (ie the one you're trying to replace) in the diplomacy screen.

actually, most of the xx_all.pcx for my leaderheads AREN'T in the standard \advisors directory. i don't know why, but at least half my leaders' xx_all.pcx files are now some other graphic file used by the interface, and the actual leaderhead image is named something odd and located in a different directory (art\advisors\ca_all.pcx has become art\oldinterface.pcx, for example). to find the corresponding .pcx file to replace i had to browse through all the pcx files in the /art directory that had roughly the same size and identify them visually.
weird. is this because i'm using Civ3 gold (ptw)? i also got it from trygames.com...
