Remember that "hicolor" =3D=3D=20 "default", so what I mean is, applications must install their icons to the= =20 "default" icon theme. It's a bit unfortunate that we have to name the=20 "default" icon theme "hicolor" (instead of plain "default"), but it's=20 needed to keep backward compatibility with existing KDE apps. 3rd apps installing their icons to the hicolor ("default") icon theme can=20 be assured that their apps will find their icons correctly in KDE 3.0, 3.1= =20 or newer no matter if we change the default icon theme again or if the=20 user changes his settings to use another icon theme.
