Just writing this for a note to the Rosegarden mail list archives. If
you have an partial install of files in /usr/share/apps/rosegarden and
install via the new scons system then when you run RG you will run into
trouble. My problem was that there was an old directory structure with
hardly anything in it. The pixmaps directory was there but none of the
files were in it. KGlobal::dirs()->findResource("appdata","pixmaps/")
will find this old directory and think "Hey I found the pixmaps
directory for you". Which ofcourse is true but not what we intent.

So the lesson is remove the entire old /usr/share/apps/rosegarden
directory when removing an old version of RG.
