Ok. There is clearly some cmake magic involved in this that I don't understand 
(yet).

I have added file copy commands to store the icons and images in the 
respective directories in the build structure. With that running gnucash from 
the build directory does find them again.

I'll note that a ninja-build clean is not removing them, nor several other 
files (like the fq related scripts). This will need someone to attend to as 
well at some point, but it's not blocking IMO.

Regards,

Geert
