I'm not talking about the desktop, I'm talking about applications.=20

Sure, I'm retarded. Now let's go back to the statement at hand, due to my=20
limited mental capabilities I will explain things slowly, bear with me:

[1] "we need HiColor icons so that if you select an icon theme which doesn'=
t=20
have the needed icon that the icon loader will fall back to HiColor."

We established that the spec says:

[2] "Implementations are required to look in the "hicolor" theme if an icon=
=20
was not found in the current theme."

So we can hopefully conclude from [2] that the part "if you select an icon=
=20
theme which doesn't have the needed icon that the icon loader will fall bac=
k=20
to HiColor." in [1] is no longer under discussion.

As for the rest of [1], it seems to me that users of KDE applications would=
=20
appreciate it that when they "select an icon theme which doesn't have the=20
needed icon" that they get to see a proper icon instead of a question mark.=
=20
Is that a statement you can agree with?

Cheers,
Waldo
