I think it should work this way:

0. If the size is 'mini' search in $KDEICONS/mini

1. If the color-depth is 'high' and the iconsize is 'large' search for 
the icon in $KDEICONS/large.

2. If the 'large' icon doesn't exist or if the iconsize is 'normal' and
the 
color-depth is 'high' search for an icon in $KDEICONS/hicolor

3. If things sofar have failed or if the iconsize is 'normal' and the 
color-depth is 'low' search in $KDEICONS/locolor (at least there should 
be an icon!!!!)
