png files shouldn't be installed into the theme, as it only deals with svg 
files. 

i can think of a couple of different ways to go about this:

* install the png's into apddata and then use KStandardDirs to find it, e.g.:

	KGlobal::dirs()->locate("appdata", "parley/play_green.png");


* put all of the png's into an svg file, install that into the theme as you 
have done and then we could add to the widget API something like:

void setImage(const QString &path, const QString &elementId)

that would paint just the svg element from the svg, much as IconWidget does. 
this would only work for kde 4.3 and beyond, however.

thoughts?
