Very good! Thank you for your good work!

Could you please explain this a bit more? Are you talking about the icons 
that are shipped with KDE? Why should we create shortcuts to them?

Originally Joachim included them in BibleTime because he wanted BT not to 
depend on kdebase. But I think this won't be necessary any more in future... 
In a future version we shall also make use of dcop which will make a static 
build impossible. I think we can go in this direction because KDE is becoming 
widely accepted and installed.
