KDE seems to come with a very meager supply of icons, all of which have *.xpm names. Are there other forms of icons that can be used with KDE? Any good sources of collections of them? And is there a way to convert Windows icons (there are some very large collections of *those* around) to the .xpm form?

Another question about icons in KDE. The top of the screen displays the active applications, each with an icon. Some of these (not KDE apps) have icons that don't show up in any other context, and I gather that those icons are embedded somehow in the program's binary file. Is there a way to extract them for use in other contexts?

Those are X pixmap files and I don't know if KDE supports any other kind. I was able to take an icon file that had an .ico extention on it and convert to an .xpm file using Gimp. I was able to make it part of a application link on my desk top. That was the first time I ever used Gimp but it seems OK for doing simple conversions like I did.
