As I suspected, the crystalsvg icon set is licensed under the LGPL:

http://webcvs.kde.org/kdelibs/pics/LICENSE.crystalsvg?rev=1.3&view=markup

So even if you were using the icons themselves instead of just 
screenshots, unless you're using some extra Crystal icons that aren't 
part of crystalsvg, all you need to do is include that license and 
offer people the "source code" (the crystalsvg tarball itself) for 
the cost of media.  If you just point them at the original crystalsvg 
tarball on the web, I'm guessing no one will ever take you up on that 
offer.  OTOH, if your book is going to contain a CD, bang, you don't 
even need to make the media offer as long as you put the tarball on 
the CD.

I'm not a lawyer, but I am pedantic enough that I probably could have 
been one in some alternate universe.
