I'd suggest you use KIconLoader even for kfm. Here is why: If a user creates his
own kdelnk-files with his own icons which he can't put into share/icons kfm will
not find these icons and displays nothing (Well in the last version I saw, it 
displays nothing). KPanel and kmenuedit do use or will use KIconLoader, so you can
create kdelnk files with icons which kfm can't find.
BTW for KIconLoader exists a nice KIconLoaderDialog which lets you select icons by
image. I think it is much easier to select an icon that way than to use a QComboBox.

And last but not least: If we have to change the icondirectories for any reason, we
have to do it only once. ;-)

Bye
Chris.
