cannot set an icon theme for the kde apps

Hello, list. I just installed gentoo for the first time. I am using
openbox wm and some kde apps within it (krusader, for example). I
installed the systemsettings package(4.8.3) to configure the kde apps.
The problem is that i cannot set an icon theme for the kde apps. There
is no entry for the icon theme configuration in the systemsettings
(please see http://www.image-share.com/ijpg-1633-222.html as an
example). Changing the name of icon theme in the config file
(~/.kde4/share/config/kdeglobals) gives nothing. So, the question is:
how to change icon theme in the kde apps?

Hey,

There is also /usr/share/kde4/services/icons.desktop, which is the
icons KCM (KDE control module) that you want. You can start it with:

$ kcmshell4 icons

This module is provided by kde-base/kcontrol, which is pulled in by
kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta. Do you have both of those installed?
You need the second one for KDE apps to function properly.

Cheers,
Bryan
