Maybe I'm unwise, but the cited sentence comes from rpmlint directly. I don't
know which messages from our best checking tool are serious, and which ones are
just blurb and not useful. Good to know that we are now sure to have another
message which belongs to the latter group :)

OK, then leave the svgz icon as is. BTW, this senseless message from rpmlint is
worth to be reported as a bug.

The question is, does it make sense at all to use a KDE-related application
launcher on a minimalistic desktop which doesn't support SVG? We shouldn't
bother with problems which come up due to "patchwork" use of tools which are
not intended for. An example from the "other side": The dockbar "Docky" is
designed for Gnome, and the included folder viewer cannot be configured so that
Dolphin will be opened. Means, the applet takes the file manager association
from Gio, which is not directly configurable. Besides the lots of dependencies
(including all the Mono stuff) it is not fully usable anyway, and this is not
to be considered as a bug.
