I actually didn't change it at all, in the end.  This preserved all
"legacy" code for the moment.  After we get the new icons and put them
in the new places, we can re-evaluate this code.

I'll look into that.

Okay.  As it stands, loadApplicationIcon is THE "load icon" function
in KDE.  It will load any and all icons that you need.

I will investigate changing all apps to:

1) Use 'BarIcon' when they want a toolbar icon
and
2) Rename loadApplicationIcon to loadIcon and change all apps to use
   that.

Cool.  As soon as I get the new icons, I'll do the move.
