All these folders contain icons.
- /usr/share/app-install/icons
- /usr/share/icons
- /usr/share/pixmaps
A.
/usr/share/app-install/icons contains icons for installed applications. (/usr/share/app-install/desktop/ contains .desktop files for applications)
/usr/share/icons are for themes.
/usr/share/pixmaps are for (gnome? (and kde?)) specific applications.
3 different things that each have their own usage and therefor each might have their own image. If you make a suggestion on, for instance, brainstorm or ayatana mailing list(?) someone might be inclined to give it a tought into merging them. Me myself I like it when things are put into their own directory and there are all part of /usr/share/ ;)
Maybe they'll be put together someday :)
