I can add new applications to the KDE desktop OK. However, when I want to
select an Icon for it, I am given a choice (I don't know where they come

application (like the "real" WordPerfect and StarOffice Icons). Anyone know
how to do this?
Thanks.

I had to do this with Opera and others.
First you may want to search the directory where you installed for a .xpm
file.
That, if there is one, may be the icon that isn't installed correctly. If you
find one click on it to view it in Icon Editor. If it looks good, move it to
/usr/share/icons and it will be available in your icon choices.
You can draw one with Icon Editor and save it in the mentioned folder.
Or what I do is find the apps icon in their docs or webpage. Take a screenshot
with Gimp, crop the icon out of it trying to get it roughly square, then
resize it to 32x32. Name it and save it to your /usr/share/icons and you're
done.
Just remember to give it an .xpm extension and make sure its 32x32.
