bluefish installs all its application, and MIME icons in the global hicolor icon theme, so they are used with XDG-based desktops.
In addition, 48px versions of the application icon and the MIME icon are installed also in the legacy pixmaps location; because of the hicolor icon theme additions, these icons are redundant. While it is already possible to not install them by specifying --with-icon-path=no, IMHO it makes no sense to ship them. Hence, attached there is a patch to drop their installation altogether, together with the now-useless --with-icon-path configure argument.
Should this be considered?
