I'm not sure if anything can be done about this, but I'd like to check.

I have a couple of external links within Primary Links. When the Primary links are displayed as a horizontal menu, via the Toggle Display option in the default theme and others, no icon appears next to the links.

Ultimately I want an icon to appear next to a few child item links in a suckerfish menu in the WhiteJazz theme by RoopleTheme.

Is this possible at all?

First, you should upgrade to the development version, which has a slightly different approach to external links in the navigation than the 1.6 version, as upgrading later will likely cause you problems. External links always adds the class "external" to external links, even if the icon is not displayed. The icon is not displayed in your case probably because the theme sets a background-image (via CSS) on the links in the primary menu. Since this is how extlink adds the image too, no icon shows up because your theme takes precedence over the module.

Read through #171541: Method to exempt links for some advice on using CSS to adjust the use of the external link icon.

I don't see a development version for 6.x. Where can I find it?

Thanks for the link. I'll read it over.

Ah, sorry I hadn't made one for Drupal 6. It's now under "View all releases". http://drupal.org/node/343881
