Hello, Everyone :) A few months ago, someone, I THINK James Richard Tyrer, posted a solution to the missing icons in Fedora Core/KDE menu's. This issue would manifest whether one was compiling from source or CVS. The solution involved symlinking certain directories. The solution works like a charm, but when I tried to set up a user account for my wife, she had no icons. I searched my own KDE archives, to no avail. I even looked in the online archives, but I couldn't find the email that contained the fix I am referring to.
If you are missing GNOME stuff in KDE menus, and KDE and GNOME are installed with different prefixes, the solution is that you need to make a symbolic link or links so that the GNOME stuff that is in "<GNOME prefix>/share/" can be accessed with: "<KDE prefix>/share/".
So, for the icons you would need:
<KDE prefix>/share/pixmaps -> <GNOME prefix/share/pixmaps
Or, are you missing more than just the GNOME icons?
In any case, KDE will only find (global) icons in the directory trees rooted at:
$KDEDIR/share/icons $KDEDIR/share/pixmaps
Icons in other places can only be specified with a full path.
There are archives for the lists:
http://lists.kde.org/
and you can search them with Google advanced search.
