 On X11 systems, Qt lets you access all the icons that are part of the system icon theme using the static function ''QIcon::fromTheme()''((http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qicon.html#fromTheme)). Icons so accessed will be selected as needed based on the required rendering size.
-As was the case with QStyle's standardIcon() function, implementation with QIcon::fromTheme() requires a bit of hand-coding.

 ==== Caveat ====
-QIcon's determination of the system icon theme is at the time of this writing not reliable under Linux -- at least not under Openbox; GNOME and Xfce are yet to be tested. A possible workaround is to use as yet undefined ''HeroicMeasures()''™ to suss out the actual icon theme and then set it((http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qicon.html#setThemeName, http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qicon.html#themeName)) in the constructor:
+QIcon's determination of the system icon theme is at the time of this writing not reliable under Linux -- at least not under Xfce, Openbox, Fluxbox, and IceWM; GNOME seems to work as expected((http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-19268)). A possible workaround is to use as yet undefined ''HeroicMeasures()''™ to suss out the actual icon theme and then set it((http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qicon.html#setThemeName, http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qicon.html#themeName)) in the constructor:
 <code cpp-qt>
 QString iconTheme = My::HeroicMeasures();
 QIcon::setThemeName(iconTheme);</code>
+Until such ''HeroicMeasures()''™ are worked out or the bug is fixed, this method can't really be recommended.
