I have various non-kde apps that place icons in various places in the system, and the Plasma5 menu and task manager widgets ignore them unless I symlink to them ONLY in:/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/<icon-name>.svg (if icon is svg) OR/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/<icon-name>.png (if icon is 48x48) OR/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/<icon-name>.png (if icon is 32x32)Oddly, 128x128 does not work, and large icons must be resized either to 48x48 or 32x32 and put in the corresponding directory.Why is this and how can I add more search paths and icon sizes? For example, gworldclock puts an icon only in /usr/share/pixmaps/gworldclock.png, and other apps only install 128x128 icons. Already tried: I tried modifying the KDEDIRS in ~/.kde/env/somefile.sh and ~/.pam_environment , and neither of those had any effect on the output of kde4-config --path icon. I also creating symlinks in my user icon directory (.kde/share/icons/), which also had no effect. Specifying absolute paths to icons in desktop files also seems not to work (although I only tried that with 128x128 icons so far).More info:Current search path:$ kde4-config --path icon/home/oleg/.kde/share/icons/:/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/icons/:/usr/share/icons/Software versions (Kubuntu 15.04): $ kde4-config --versionQt: 4.8.6KDE Development Platform: 4.14.13kde4-config: 1.0$ plasmashell --versionplasmashell 5.4.2
