Now I'm really confused, because I received the opposite advice a couple
of years ago, cf unixODBC.spec:
* Fri Jun 13 2008 Tom Lane <t...@redhat.com> 2.2.12-8
- Install icons in /usr/share/pixmaps, not /usr/share/icons as this package
has historically done; the former is considered correct.
Digging further, the reason I changed it is because Red Hat's rpmdiff
tool whinged about the previous placement. Somebody is not on the right
page here.
