[KPhotoAlbum] Icons problems in Debian buster

[Johannes Zarl-Zierl]

Hi Joe,

I can relate to your comment - troubleshooting icon problems is not as smooth 
an experience as it could be...

That would indeed be a nice feature. This could possibly be a relatively 
straignt-forward beginner path for KIconDialog[1].

Sorry, none that I know of.

There's no documentation as far a I can tell.

I usually use the KIconDialog mentioned above by opening the properties dialog 
of any random file in dolphin. The search there is actually quite decent ever 
since you can search all categories at once. When I've found the icon I was 
looking for, I note down the name ;-)
