kmymoney 5 frameworks

[timothy]

Hi

I had a bit of trouble with my scripts for finance-quote and found that
the directory /usr/share/kde4/apps/kmymoney in kmm4 is
now /usr/share/kmymoney in kmm5. The directory 'icons' and the text file
'tips' were also there. I copied them across to kmm5 since they are
missing and now both the icons and the tips are working fine. They are
actually missing from the source code in frameworks.

I had also just copied the kmm4 kmymoney.kmy file to 5 without realizing
that the kmymoneyui.rc should have also been copied. It is also in that
directory. Now things look familiar and it is easier to test. I am
surprised that a new kmymoneyui.rc was not created in kmm5 though.

Not sure how to record these small items. They are not really bugs just
teething problems.

Regards
Timothy
