installing program. icons appearing in kde menu

[ykhov]

This is more of a debian/kde question.

My problem is that when I install new programs with apt-get or kpackage I don't know how the icons in kde menu are created.

For example when I install firefox with "apt-get install firefox" I get a firefox icon in kde menu under: Internet > firefox.

What's frustrating is that sometime these icons do not appear at all. When I install totem I didn't get an icon in kde menu and had to create the shortcut myself. (it's hard to pick a suitable icon ya know.. )

Is there a way I can see how these icons for kde menu are generated?
