KDE doesn't expect some icons to be in exact directories, it simply
limits the contexts, and requires that the icons be in any of those
directories. This is rather unfortunate, however, there are patches
which will solve this problem, available at:

This actually makes maintaining an icon theme which uses the utils, much
more difficult. Given this, and the availability of the two patches for
kdebase and kdelibs linked on the page above, I will not be committing
your patches. However, thank you for the patch, and the interest in the
project.
