[kdenlive] New feature "force breeze icon theme"... should it be default?

My (not solid) way to detect KDE session in a ShellScript:

Desktop="$(echo "$DESKTOP_SESSION" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')"
if [ "$(echo "$Desktop" | grep -ie 'default')" != "" ] ; then
	SManager="$(cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2>/dev/null)"
	SManager="$(basename "$SManager")"
	case "$SManager" in
		"kdm" )	Desktop="kde" ;;
	esac
fi
if [ "$(echo "$Desktop" | grep -e '^kde')" ] ; then
	Desktop="kde"
fi
