I thought that I was clear.  What is the point of having the ability to have different 
icon themes if this feature is not used by applications?

I think that it is best to have the "old" icons which are KDEClasic style be the 'hicolor' 
icons and the new CrystalSVG icons installed as 'crystalsvg'.  In which case if the user 
chooses the CrystalSVG icon theme the application will use CrystalSVG icons for its tool 
bars and if the user chooses another icon theme and has not installed icons for that theme 
then it will use the KDEClasic icons which were installed as 'hicolor'.  This is my 
recommendation.

Alternatively, the CrystalSVG icons could be installed as 'hicolor' and the "old" icons 
could be installed as 'kdeclasic'.  This would force the use of CrystalSVG as the default 
if the user had chosen any icon theme other than KDEClasic.  I don't think that this is 
the best solution.

The point is that the CrystalSVG icons should not replace the current KDEClasic icons.
