This is exactly a feature I suggested a few times: If there were more than
*one* path available it would be quite easy to have a central area for all
the pixmaps ... 

I put all my xpms in /usr/share/pixmaps ... followed by a whole bunch of
"themes" folders - in order to store different groups of similar icons.
This concept works very well with AfterStep (e. g.) and would make KDE more
attractive ...
