Hi Kevin:

I tried this, I added:

	[Directories]
	data_icon=/usr/share/pixmaps

to my global: "kdeglobals" and it doesn't appear to work.

Do I have the above correct?

The GNOME icons don't show up in the: "Select Icon" dialog. :-(  I 
presume this is because it only shows icons in the listed directories.

So, I added the name of an icon in "pixmaps" by editing a 'desktop' file 
and that didn't work either.

I would presume that this is a bug.

It appears to me that KDE should look for: $KDEDIR/share/pixmaps without 
configuration and that this (the icons in the base pixmaps directory) 
should be shown as: "pixmaps" in the: "Select Icon" dialog.
