A simple question: That icon changes has been done to all kde apps in CVS 
which ship with this release, nobody has gone mad, only you, why ? It was 
disscussed endlessly on many lists that we switch over to crystal/keramik and 
not that it is done (and the highcolor icons are even preserved in 
kdeartwork), where is the problem that you old icons will be in kdeartwork ? 
To install them from kdenetwork will give you simply nothing that conflicts 
with kdeartwork, or should we add a "Neil hi-color 2 icons" button to the 
icon theme selector if you install kdenetwork but not kdeartwork ? I simply 
don't get any rational argument by you (aside that you simply can't do what 
all others do) why you can't maintain your two silly icons in kdeartwork 
instead of kdenetwork.

Could somebody just dumb that icons out of kdenetwork and end that senseless 
thread ?
