And what would it do? Are you going to patch all the Makefiles? 
My suggestion is this: go and replace the locolor icons in the 1.1
branch
as noone here is willing to do all the extra work that is required to do
this
now correctly (I highly blame the artists not coming up with something
earlier, so we had a chance to find a solution).

In HEAD we will then have the low and hicolor icons side by side and
am_edit
will handle all gracefully ("KDE_ICON = AUTO" is your friend ;) and for
the 1.1.2 release we will provide a tarball with the locolor icons that
can
be unpackaged in the right directory and overwrite the hicolor icons.
Every-
thing else is too much work and I'm not willing to even check out the
1.1
branch as I want to stabilize the HEAD branch (and now that the
background
pixmaps work again... ;)

Greetings, Stephan
