That true!!!

I didn't want to be rude... It was just that I was sitting at my computer 
answering mails (without deep knowledge of the topic ;-) ) while I should 
have done my homeworks. I was week again, so I tried to stay hard and not 
answer mails any more... Its just my own foolishness...

About the icons: From my point of view the standard-theme should support all 
icons. If the user selected theme doesn't support one the standard-one is 
taken. So If you want to make icons for your app you should place them inside 
crystalsvg (or the relevant standard-theme). Thats where crystalsvg has 
precedence. Inside a theme There could be some dependencies defined like 
"this is locolor but if the icon isn't found look into hicolor and slick". 
After this search the standard-icon should be used...

But I am not at all a kde-expert, just using it daily and writing little 
things for aRts (far to less). Thats another reason why I didn't answer after 
the problem wasn't easy to solve...
