The KIconThemeDir issue has been an annoyance since the first 
PyKDE version I worked on. Lately, the problem seemed to have 
disappeared for some unknown reason.

KIconThemeDir is a class that's forward declared in the h file, 
but defined in the .cpp file, so it's inaccessible to sip (and 
to PyKDE as well).  Ordinarily sip handles these, but in this 
case it never has until the last 2 or 3 versions (on my 
systems). That being the case, I quit modifying the kicontheme.h 
file in recent releases.

The fix is very easy - open extra/kde3xx/kicontheme.h in an 
editor and comment out (//) the 2 lines that contain a reference 
to KIconThemeDir (the forward declaration and another reference 
near the end of the file).  Look at one of the 
extra/kde30x/kicontheme.h files if you're not sure.

I'll go back to doing this again in future releases (I was hoping 
to be able to drop the modified file altogether). kde3xx is the 
directory that corresponds to your KDE version (eg extra/kde320 
for KDE3.2.0).

If you upgrade KDE, you'll probably need to change kicontheme.h 
in the corresponding new kde3xx directory.

My pleasure - the bugs have been pretty simple so far.
