Wow ... thanks, I had no idea.  That change has completely passed me by.


Allow me to row back somewhat:

$ locate kde4/apps | grep icons | grep svg | wc -l
134
$ locate kde4/apps | grep icons | grep png | wc -l
1090

Looking through /usr/share/kde4/apps/*/icons it seems that, er, perhaps 
PNG is the dominant icon format after all. Obviously the number of PNG 
files on disk is more than SVG because there are renderings for each size:


konqueror/icons/oxygen/48x48/actions/google.png
konqueror/icons/oxygen/64x64/actions/google.png
konqueror/icons/oxygen/32x32/actions/google.png
konqueror/icons/oxygen/22x22/actions/google.png
konqueror/icons/oxygen/16x16/actions/google.png

but eg from akonadi/ braindump/ and calligra/, there is precisely one 
SVG icon. So it seems things are bit more nuanced than I had thought.





I guess this is all in aid of a more luscious pixel-sharp desktop so it must
be a good thing :)


Yes, in a time where there is more diversity of screen resolutions than 
before, vector graphics make more sense.


Besides Inkscape (which I last used an aeon ago on Windows), do you believe I
could use Karbon ("a vector drawing application ... support for ODG, SVG, PNG,
PDF, WMF) ?  That would surely be the KDE way  I'll try it.


Haven't done any of this for years. Just had a play with Karbon and 
Inkscape. Karbon is more basic than Inkscape, in particular the View > 
Icon Preview feature is relevant here.

So you installed milou packages but you don't see any widget that
contains "Search"?

I don't think that Milou works on plasma 4 and needs the full plasma 5
desktop.

We'll have to still wait for some time to get all the plasma 5 packages to
experimental. They are waiting for approval in the NEW queue (
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html).

Yes, I've inspected the available widgets ("add widget" in English), but I 
couldn't find anything 
that looks like it provides for search.

But there is /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.milou/metadata.desktop, in the 
"milou" 
package, which starts with the following. It seems like it doesn't have any 
effect:

   [Desktop Entry]
   Name=Search

I think, I'll have to be more patient, and wait for milou (and other KDE 
packages) to enter Sid. 
After all, it's called "experimental"...
