Do we want to change icon locations for GRASS 6.4 or only GRASS 7.
AFAIK, only the docs and GUI need the icons.

Hi,

IMO $GISBASE/docs/html/icons seems very a strange place to put them,
while $GISBASE/etc/icons seems very natural. Their primary reason
for
existence is for the GUI program, the docs are reactionary to that..
note that some packagers (Debian...) will, for large softwares,
split
the docs from the main program package into a new -docs package.
this
is for a couple reasons- one is that some people (eg embedded, old
hardware) want to save the disk space by not installing unneeded
docs;
another is to avoid redundancy on the package download servers by
pushing as much platform-neutral data into a single "-any" package
and
then have a series of smaller -i386, -arm, -mips, etc. binary
packages. Storing 11 copies of the same docs adds up when you
support
11 hardware platforms.
The icons are platform neutral so not a problem for the server-space
reason, but very much a problem for the user wants "core only"
reason.
IOW, the icons should really be installed into both docs/html/icons
(for the documentation) and etc/icons (for the GUI itself).
the reasons you have mentioned make senses to me. I will fix silk
icons accordingly.

BTW, maybe also icons and images from lib/init/ could be moved to
the new place.
gintro.gif -> gui/images ($GISDBASE/etc/gui/images)
*.ico -> gui/icons ($GISDBASE/gui/icons)
original GRASS icons - gui/icons/grass ($GISDBASE/gui/icons/grass)
Silk icons - gui/icons/silk ($GISDBASE/gui/icons/silk)
