I have no idea why that would have happened--I glanced at the XML, and as far as
I could tell, there was nothing syntactically wrong with the file, it was just bloated
with invisible text.
(I do have bigger SVG files on hand, but none of them were intended to be
icons...)

And was it something that he owned/had permission to use, or was kdesvn shipping
with a bizarre hidden copyright violation for however many years?

Please see if the attached file works as needed/intended. If it does, I'll tackle the
others.

Heh. I imagine that's what the KDE devs used.

So we either draw new ones or replace them with reasonably generic icons from
among those already on-hand. Or, if they're never actually displayed anywhere,
delete them from the tree, just to be tidy.
