           Summary: Custom icon setting should default to system icons
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.8.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: silver where else net nz


Version:           1.8.2 (using KDE 3.4.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728
OS:                FreeBSD (i386) release 5.4-STABLE

When setting a custom folder icon, the icon set in the dialog box does not default to \
system icons: filesystem, which is the logical place to find the needed icons.

Instead it defaults to "other icons" which appears to be the default icon set \
regardless of whether or not a custom icon set is selected. This means that if the \
user wants to select custom icons that will track changes in the icon theme they have \
to click the "system icons" radiobutton, wait while all of those load, select \
"filesystem" from the dropdown, wait while all of those load and select the icon they \
want. 

I configure kmail folders to be folder_grey when they have no mail in them and \
folder_red when there is new/unread mail in them. If I want those icons to follow \
changes in my icon theme then I have to go through the process of switching icon \
theme in the properties dialog and waiting for the system icons to load twice for \
every folder, which takes an incredible amount of time. Usually, I just end up \
editing kmailrc with sed instead, because it's easier :) \
