Those are X pixmap files and I don't know if KDE supports any other
kind. I was able to take an icon file that had an .ico extention on it
and convert to an .xpm file using Gimp. I was able to make it part of a
application link on my desk top. That was the first time I ever used
Gimp but it seems OK for doing simple conversions like I did.
