Description of problem:
Application and action icons are not found for new applications by KDE
after compiling and installing the new KDE application.

Environment:

Qt: 3.3.1
KDE: 3.2.1-0.1 Red Hat

Example:

1. Download the kpovmodeler source (KPovModeler 1.0)
2. Configure (./configure)
3. compile (make)
4. install (make install).
5. execute program (kpovmodeler)

None of the action icons will be present.  The icon place will be
filled in by a blank document icon.

Make install places the icons for the application in:

/usr/share/apps/kpovmodeler/icons/

There are hicolor (16x16/actions, 22x22/actions) and locolor
(16x16/actions) icons.

Copying these icons into /usr/share/icons/hicolor and
/usr/share/icons/locolor does not solve the problem when using the
crystalsvg icon theme even though Inherits=hicolor is present in the
index.theme file for crystalsvg.

Workaround:

Copy all icons to the appropriate subfolder of the active theme.

Of course, this workaround is messy, especially when it comes time to
upgrade the applications.

Desired:

a) Icons to be placed in the proper location on make install
b) Icon inheritance to work so that only one copy need be made


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdebase-3.2.1-0.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the kpovmodeler source (KPovModeler 1.0)
2. Configure (./configure)
3. compile (make)
4. install (make install).
5. execute program (kpovmodeler)
    

Actual Results:  Icons will not be visible for the actions in
kpovmodeler.  kxmleditor has similar issues.

Expected Results:  Icons should be present for all actions in kpovmodeler.
