How to get icons back in KDE?

[noff]

I was mucking around in KDE icons, adding new gentoo icons, and I changed the permissions on /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons/ and up and I lost all my icons. I set them to 644 which killed them. Setting them to 777 did not bring them back. so remerged kdebase and kdeartwork. Nope. rm -dr /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons emerge kdeartwork. Nope. If I click to change an icon or change icons in kcontrol it seg faults. I removed my .kde3.1 dir and nope. Root doesn't have icons. I don't know what is going on.

At least I'm becoming more used to fluxbox.

Kindof the same problem here, although I wasn't changing permissions. I was just adding conectiva-crystal and noia first directly from kde-look.org then from emerging and somehow in moving them from /usr/share/icons to /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons I've managed to loss all icons :\ ..

I fixed this (sorta of) by going to kde-look.org and downloading the crystal 0.85. Then as root I untarred it /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons, I then mv crystal crystalsvg and now KDE doesn't crash.

Thanks! I knew that crystalsvg was related somehow as default.kde was symbolically pointing to it.. but I wasn't connecting the dots. Now that kcontrol doesn't segfault I can change the icon themes to whatever (i.e. the new noia ). Thanks again.
