This is something I guess you'll need to talk over with calc, who does the
kdelibs stuff.

This is just from looking at your kofffice-debian.tar.gz - the debian/
contains only one .xpm (take a look at CVS or the woody debs; there's an xpm
for almost every app: kword.xpm, kspread.xpm, etc). These xpms are installed
in /usr/share/pixmaps and used in the debian menu entries so users of other
window managers still get pretty icons.
Hmm, and taking a closer look the pixmaps *are* showing up in kword.files,
kspread.files, etc - so I suspect it's actually a case that they were just
left out of the koffice-debian.tar.gz that was uploaded.

Hmm, okay, this is something else to discuss with calc since he does
kdelibs/kdebase.
