Fascinating.  I've noted before that the icon that appears when you autostart 
kmix is not the one that you see in the icon-selector.  That's been so as 
long as I can remember.  But I agree, I can't find where it gets that one.

/usr/share/autostart is definitely where it lists those tiny application 
icons, but as well as the kmix mystery there is also a space that looks as 
though it has something unidentifiable there, and kwallet docks into the same 
space.  I tend to think of that group as system icons, as distinct from the 
ones that I add, either as widgets or as application launchers.
