I just wish someone with in-depth knowledge of this issue could tell me where the path or symlink is
I can't really analyze your problem but this is what I know (and do):
- I prefer the "KDE Classic Icon Theme" but not some of it's icons (the network icon for instance). So I created my own theme by copying the few icons I wanted from one theme to the other.
- So, everytime I install TDE somewhere, I need to transport my Icon set. Which is actually very easy:
copy the (modified) directory from /opt/trinity/share/icons (so it would be the Crystalsvg directory for you) to /some/backup/location. In my case it's on a nfs share.
after a new install, use konqueror as filemanager (super user mode) to copy that directory in /opt/trinity/share/icons
select the correct icon theme in trinity control center.
Never has any trouble.
So if I were at you place, I'd delete everything in /opt/trinity/share/icons, copy back the icon directories (I can let you grab a copy) and that should do the trick.
