[Gambas-user] More Missing Icons...

[sbungay]

   Hi Ron!
    While the presence of /root as a result of kde-config --path icons 
COULD mean that the person was signed into the system and using KDE as 
root, it does not mean that they were in fact signed into the system and 
using KDE as root. In my case I was signed into the system as me and in 
a konsole session signed in as root to do the make install, I just never 
exited the konsole session before I ran the kde-config command. :(  As a 
result we all saw /root being returned by kde-config.
