Plasma applet development: adding icons micro-HOWTO

The introduction to Plasma applet development on the KDE TechBase site describes the contents of CMakeLists.txt file used for compilation  and installation of a plasmoid. The installation of corresponding icon(s) is not covered there.

Actually, the process is rather simple

1. Create an icon, or an icon set
2. Name icon file(s) correctly
3. Add an icon reference to the .desktop file
4. Put an installation line to CMakeLists.txt
5. Run cmake && make && sudo make install

Ruby multi-threading programs will not gain real advantage when executed on multi-core CPUs.
