Recovering icons for KDE-4 applications

I lost some icons for some KDE-4 applications. For example, Kget. If I park
KGet in the panel after launching, it shows an interrogation icon. I would
like to assign the corresponding KGet icon instead. Can somebody tell me how
to do this ? Generally speaking: how can I assign an icon to an application
let me say of kdebase ?
Thanks in advance,
Edgar

Normally, the SystemTray icon name is hardcoded so there is no way for
the user to change it.

This icon can either be a global icon in "$KDEDIR/share/icons/..." or a
private icon in: "$KDEDIR/share/apps/<app name>/icons/hicolor/...".
Sometimes there are also themed icons in: "$KDEDIR/share/apps/<app
name>/icons/<theme>/..." or the icons are incorrectly stored with a
<theme> of "oxygen" even when they are the only icon and/or are unthemed
icons.  For example, Konqueror has "google" icons in "oxygen" even
though they are generic (and therefore HiColor) icons and there is no
"hicolor" directory.  Note: as long as the default theme is not changed,
this should cause no problems, but you should be aware of it if you are
going to change icons.

If the icon is a private icon, you can change it by replacing the icon
with one with the same name.
