AH!! Thank you!!!!! Those places are full of little .png files, and 
subdirs full of little .png files -- must be at least some of 'em!

Now, does anyone know where the cursors are kept? Due to some weird bug 
in our incarnation of KDE, it only respects Polar, which is too ugly for

white) then all will be well.

How to install icons on KDE:

Right click on the desktop, Configure, Icons, "Get more icons" and soon 
you're presented with the current catalog (of thousands) of icon themes, 
which you can browse and install on the spot.

Why is Ubuntu so difficult? <g>
