Kmail Create Task Icon of Poor Quality

[Félim Whiteley]

I've upgraded from Fiesty to Gutsy (Not sure if this is relevent) and in Kontact in the KMail part the create Task Icon which is identical to the left Tasks sidebar button is of low quality. This is obviously only cosmetic but I would have thought it used the same icon but something is not right. I've attached a screenshot and rather crudely highlighted both. The left one is good but the top right is not.

Thanks

Confirmed this on Gutsy

I've upgraded to Hardy and this is still an issue on my machine.

This bug still exists on Kubuntu 8.04.
KMail 1.9.9
KDE 3.5.9
Linux 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It appears when one asks for bigger icons in the kontact/kmail toolbars. It seems to come from incomplete icon themes, for instance the icon named "mail_todo.png".

For CrystalSVG theme, a kmail crystalsvg iconset is in the folder /usr/share/apps/kmail/icons/. I am not sure whether it is better to modify /usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/ or to modify /usr/share/apps/kmail/icons/crystalsvg/, but the following works:

Copy as root the icon kontact_todo.png into mail_todo.png in their respective size (32x32, 48x48 etc)
Example:
  /usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/actions/kontact_todo.png
into
  /usr/share/apps/kmail/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/actions/mail_todo.png
