Ok, so want to help us?

There are two types of way of integrating an icon:

      1. The icon is used by the application and with the .desktop
         file for the menu.

	 This usually involved adding the icon to cvs, and editing the
	 .desktop file to reference this file.

      2. The icon is a file-type, which is bound to a mime-type.

         This usually means adding a mime-type entry (if the mime type
         has not been defined before), providing in the .keys file a
         reference to the file.

And both require usually small changes to the Makefile.am files to
make sure they get installed on the proper location.

Let me know how I can help the Icon team with this.
