Yeap, I didn't intend you to fix it for 0.3.4. Not even to fix it by the way :D

I just wanted to initiate the discussion.

Would be nice indeed, but just keep the low res icons too, as
depending on where the icon will be displayed (the menu, the panel, a
launcher on the desktop, etc...), the needed size will be different.
And this is exactly the point of installing them in the right place,
as the application calling the icon will automagically take the one
with the most appropriated size. :)

I don't know the autotools at all, but can't you just pass the -p
option to the install calls ?

If not, no problem, I'll just keep that in the spec file.

I'll try to make it to then.
