I'm trying to fix koffice toolbar icons.
The icons are, in the sources, in koffice/pics/toolbar and used to install
themselves in $(kde_datadir)/koffice/toolbar - BTW, I guess the resource
"toolbar" for KStdDirs should disappear no ? - Anyway.
I've tried to have those icons install themselves into

$(kde_datadir)/koffice/icons/locolor/16x16/actions/  

and to add 
 KGlobal::dirs()->addResourceType("icons", KStandardDirs::kde_default("data") + "/koffice/icons/");

(since the source seem to say that the resources icons is the one used).
No luck.

Do I need to add an index.desktop in $(kde_datadir)/koffice/icons ?
Or should those simply install into the normal share/icons ?
