Requested and after no veto meanwhile executed by myself, by removing the 
icons from oxygen iconset in trunk and the 4.10 branch.

So starting with KDE Platform 4.10 there are no more karbon, kexi and krita 
app icons installed with the oxygen iconset, so no icons shadowing the hi*-
app-{karbon,kexi,krita} installed from the Calligra packages/sources.

Poses the question if in the Calligra sources the icons should be still 
renamed to calligrakarbon, calligrakexi and calligrakrita (and thus not 
matching the app names), or if we are okay with that with KDE Platforms <= 4.9 
only the older version of the icons, as coming from the oxygen iconset, are 
used.

I would argue to keep the icon names as they are. Because I assume that most 
people for now who might be using Calligra apps will use the latest KDE SC as 
well, so given that Calligra 2.6 only arrives after KDE Platform 4.10 with the 
current release plans, they should not be affected by the icon shadowing.
And that way all app icon names will match the names of the executables. Which 
I like at least for consistency.
