For sbungay & Leonardo Miliani (and others)

Yea, on my SuSE box too. But
  ron at ...1311...:~> kde-config --path icon
  /home/ron/.kde/share/icons/:/etc/opt/kde3/share/icons/:/opt/kde3/share/icons/

and gives no /root !!!

The question was raised because the first directory in the Path 
for kde-config --path icon was starting with /root and that 
would not be the case for normal users.

Working as root is only to install distro packages and
for the final 'make install' if the ./configure prefix 
is not pointing to your private home directory

This could mean you run as root instead as user.!!!
Security is vulnerable.

( I confes I did it to in the past :( )


Your friendly but useless helper,

Ron
