QT theme search paths limited on Windows

[Jasem Mutlaq]

Hello,

KStars has problems loading custom icons that were installed into the
"hicolor" theme under Windows. On Linux, it works perfectly fine. Upon
checking QIcon::themeSearchPaths(), turns out on LInux it's the following:

Theme search path  ("/usr/share/icons", "/usr/share/pixmaps", ":/icons")

But on Windows, it's only ":/icons"

I solved by adding the theme names manually under Windows:

QStringList searchPaths = QIcon::themeSearchPaths();
foreach(QString path,
QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation))
        searchPaths << QString("%1/%2").arg(path).arg("icons");
QIcon::setThemeSearchPaths(searchPaths);

After that, the icons under "hicolor" loaded up fine. Perhaps Qt should be
patched to add those paths so that all KDE applications can access them
without the above hack?
