Installing kdebase over Ubuntu install mixes up KDE default icon theme with GNOME selected icon theme

[Bálint Magyar]

I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 cleanly on a fresh HD partition and installed the Tango icon theme from the repository, then decided to install kdebase (kcontrol + its dependencies, actually) to make QT apps fit GNOME's looks with the Klearlooks KDE theme. This resulted in a couple of launcher icons in the Main Menu switch to their equivalents in the KDE default icon theme Crystal SVG. The ones I've noticed so far are Evolution, The GIMP, Opera and Scribus. The latter two have been installed from third-party sources, but their icons were fine before the KDE packages were installed.

Another peculiar thing is that there are two entries for Crystal SVG in System > Preferences > Appearance > Customize... > Icons; might be related. (Not mentioning that the Delete button is disabled for both of them, since that's probably intentional as to not remove things that have been installed through the package manager as part of another package.)

Let me know if you need any more info. Sorry, I have no idea which specific package this is related to.

Did you select CrystalSVG as icon set?

No, I use Tango. Tried switching to CrystalSVG and back to Tango to see if it fixes the problem, but it doesn't.

Can't reproduce this on Intrepid, seems to be fixed due to KDE 4.
