In an attempt to make KPilot use the more modern UI goodies that KDE2
provides, I decided to switch to KActions. My code now looks like this:

        p = new KAction(i18n("Configure Conduits..."),
                "configure",
                0,
                this,
                SLOT(slotConfigureConduits()),
                this);
        p->plug(fileMenu);
        fileMenu->insertSeparator(-1);
        p = new KAction(i18n("&HotSync"),
                "hotsync",
                0,
                this,
                SLOT(slotRequestHotSync()),
                this);
        p->plug(fileMenu);


You can see I haven't switched to XML GUI yet; I figured (a) KPilot's UI
is so simple there's not much point in making it configurable (b) take
small steps.

I've created files {lo16,hi22,hi32}-action-hotsync.png, since I saw that
KOrganizer has something similar [on a side note, where the heck can I
find out what these mean? ie. how can I make these? right now I've just
copied 5days.png from KOrganizer, as a test]. These icons get installed
into $KDEDIR/share/apps/kpilot/locolor/16x16/actions/hotsync.png, and
similarly for the other two.

The code above makes one "Configure" entry with the standard configure
icon (the wrench). So that's OK [yes, I know about
KStdAction::preferences() -- that's for Configure KPilot]. The problem is
with the second KAction, which doesn't use a standard icon. "hotsync" is
one of my own. The problem is that instead of the hotsync icon I get the
"unknown" icon. So where does KAction get its icons from?
