Actually, we probably want to separate the two: someone requested that the 
icon used for the K-Menu be different than the "go" icon so that they could 
be themed differently. So I changed kicker to also install "kmenu", which is 
actually the same as "go" (I didn't know about "about_kde"). But the use 
internally in kicker is not consistent -- sometimes "go"  is used by kicker 
as the K-Menu icon and sometimes "kmenu". The "go" icon is also used as the 
last-resort icon of an application in the taskbar.

So, lets clean this up. IMO, kdelibs should install "about_kde" and a separate 
"kgear" or "go" or whatever we decide to call it. KHelpMenu will use 
"about_kde", stuff like the taskbar and minicli will use "kgear". Kicker will 
install "kmenu" and always use that for the K-Menu. This provides maximum 
flexibility for themes while ensuring that apps in kdebase use only icons 
they install or icons in kdelibs.

later,
John
