Very bad situation, a fork. An impossible situation even. Everaldo mentions on 
kde-look.org that Suse is paying him to devellop the crystal svg icons. Does 
anyone know what the position is Suse takes on this? I can not imagine that 
Suse pays him to keep kde in lock. If Everaldo releases his icons to cvs on a 
steady basis, that should be workable?

Do I understand it correctly that the application icons are missing 
especially? And those are Everaldo's?
