Cant set icon's picture to a file that is located in the file system , and not in the qrc

[akiriati]

Im using qt4 to compile a tray icon application for Ubuntu 12.10..
As I run the tray icon on a Ubuntu machine I get the following error:

   Could not save icon as '/tmp/sni-qt_server_22456-
    MTXUll/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/appName_22456_1fd07571a5278bdba6564f8b47480a18.png'
    ....

This error is thrown when trying to set an icon with a picture on the file system that is not a part of qrc package:

    trayicon->(QIcon("/usr/local/appName.appPic.png");

This code works for most of the linux distributions (earlier ubuntu, centos, etc.), but fails on Ubuntu with sni-qt

It can be fixed by using a picture that is included in the qrc, but this is not what im looking for, since the menu picture may be changed after compilation on my application.

Can you still reproduce this?

Since I can't here...
