It is a matter of changing the order of the directories that are searched for
icons.
Currently kiconloader looks first into the user's home directory and then into
the global directories.

~/.kde/share/apps/APPNAME/pics
[..]
~/.kde/share/icons

KDEDIR/share/apps/APPNAME/pics
[..]
KDEDIR/share/icons

IMHO this should be changed after 1.1 into:

~/.kde/share/apps/APPNAME/pics
KDEDIR/share/apps/APPNAME/pics
~/.kde/share/icons
KDEDIR/share/icons

Chris
