Hi,

I just happen to install a lot of new icons in the kdeedu module. Having 
looked at what was done by good KDE developers, I deducted the following:

For icons, you'll have a "icons" folder in your project and in this folder, 
the Makefile.am will have the following line:
KDE_ICON = AUTO
(the Makefile.am will just have that line in fact)
(don't forget to add icons in the subdirs line of the ../icons dir 
Makefile.am)
Place all icons in this icons folder with names like:
cr-yy-action-iconname.png
where yy is the icon size (names do matter here).
The icons will then be installed automatically as: 
$KDEDIR/share/apps/appname/icons/crystalsvg/yyxyy/actions/iconname.png
(where yyxyy is for example 32x32)

Then in your program you call your icon "iconname.png" and it will be found in 
the standards dirs without any other bother.

Hope that helps, anyone corrects me please if I am wrong,
Cheers,

annma
