KIconLoader

[Lynn Hazan]

Thanks a lot for your help, it worked.

I have 2 complementary questions:

Does it work the same way for cursors? 
 =>Do I have to use the same macro "kde4_install_icons( 
${ICON_INSTALL_DIR}   ) even if it is cursor?
=> what about  the image naming?
 
How do I do for my application Icon?
