Remember that the icon theme spec is shared, so you don't really want
to call a theme plain "default" (it may not be the default in GNOME or
whatever). "KDE Default" would be a better name.

There was a thread on theme naming and theme inheritance and where
apps should install icons on xdg-list a little while ago, it was left
somewhat unresolved, this is something that should be sorted out.
Third-party apps should really install to the same place for all
desktops.
