Hello, Again :)
I just noticed something interesting: just using the RPM's I just made
as an example, the icons appear in the correct directory in the SRPM,
but not the RPM.  After I noticed the icons in the SRPM, I ran "rpmbuild
--rebuild" on the SRPM (which I just said has the icons in it) with the
result being an RPM without icons :(

That's all for now :)
