The configuration file is kickerrc, the animated icons that appear in the
panel are located in kicker's pics dir, and supplementary static icons are in
kicker's icons dir.
I am being deliberately fuzzy in giving their location so that I have a reason
to explain how the KDE configuration and icon loader works:
1) Look in the current user's $KDEHOME - $HOME/.kde by default
This is $HOME/.kde/share/config for config files and
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/<appname> for application data.
Thus the pics could be in $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kicker/pics
2) For icons, look in the user's locally installed icon themes:
$HOME/.kde/share/icons/...
Which subdir is used depends which theme is in use; 'default-kde' is a link
to 'crystalsvg' by default.
3) Look in the system wide KDE installation dir given by $KDEDIRS or /opt/kde3
by default for SUSE packages.
This is /etc/opt/kde3/share/config for config files and
/opt/kde3/share/apps/<appname> for application data.
4) For icons, also look in the system wide icon themes, eg
/opt/kde3/share/icons and
/usr/share/icons, rules as in 2),
try 'find /opt/kde3/share/icons/crystalsvg -name system.png'.
Therefore, if you want to change the kicker icons for a user, put substitutes
for kmenu_basic.mng, kmenu_flipped.mng, kmenu_vertical.mng in
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/kicker/pics
and 'bookmark', 'recently_used', 'system', 'player_playlist' and 'leave' in
the relevant subdirs of
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/kicker/icons/<current-icon-theme>/
and get a customised kickoff like:
