Got task switcher color icons back

[Gene Smith <gds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been trying off and on for some time to fix the alt-tab "layout 
based switcher" in compact view to show color on the icons listed. At 
some point (kde 4.8?) they became all gray making it hard to tell one 
from the other. I could find no configuation option that affected this.

Then I found this article with a simple 2 line patch to 2 files that 
fixes the problem. It is here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/134183/any-way-to-get-colored-icons-in-alt-tab-task-switcher-in-kde

In case the link goes away, the patch is attached.

Just edit the two files in /usr/share/kde4 (as root), log out and back 
in to kde and you have the nice color icons again when you do alt-tab in 
compact or informative mode.

I am running f16 with kde 4.8.5.
