Adds icon lookup in XDG_DATA_DIRS

This patch looks a bit hacky, but kdecore seems to be hacky anyways (when I
started doing it the "right" way, I got so many compiler warnings that I had to
C&P the compiler output in a text editor to find the error in it).

What this patch actually does is looking up icons in $KDEDIRS/icons and
$KDEDIRS/pixmaps as usual, and besides those standard dirs, it also looks at
$XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and $XDG_DATA_DIRS/pixmaps.

According to the icon theme specifications at
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html,
looking in XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and /usr/share/pixmaps is standard, but too many
applications store pixmaps in their own prefix, resulting in things like
/opt/gnome/share/pixmaps. GTK+ also looks for icons in XDG_DATA_DIRS/pixmaps,
so I do the same with KDE now.
