Now I'm really confused, because I received the opposite advice a couple
of years ago, cf unixODBC.spec:

* Fri Jun 13 2008 Tom Lane <tgl at redhat.com> 2.2.12-8
- Install icons in /usr/share/pixmaps, not /usr/share/icons as this package
  has historically done; the former is considered correct.

Digging further, the reason I changed it is because Red Hat's rpmdiff
tool whinged about the previous placement.  Somebody is not on the right
page here.
