I agree - but I wonder about the intentions of whoever wrote that
icon configuration kcontrol dialog. I tries to configure everything
about icons (colors, fonts, texts, underline, etc.), calling them
"desktop icons", but... is that really the place for that ? And what
should konqueror icons do ? Follow those "desktop" settings ? Not really
flexible IMHO.
