I find a slight issue here.  I have a: "$HOME/.icons" directory with one 
icon in it.  However, I find the the: "xdg-icon install" command doesn't 
install icons there.  If I execute:

xdg-icon install --theme hicolor --context mimetypes --size 48 --user

the icon is installed in:

	$HOME/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes/

Is this correct??  Note that this looks reasonable to me.

I note that if it is correct that any KDE issue can be fixed with a link:

$HOME/.kde/share/icons -> $HOME/.local/share/icons

which I have already done on my system.
