I believe the best answer is that you have to publish whatever you 
modify. So if you take an existing png and paint on it in kolourpaint, 
you /might/ be okay publishing just the final png. But if you modify the 
original svg, I am pretty sure that makes the svg the "preferred 
source", which means you must publish that. Similarly if you use gimp, 
then you would need to publish the .xcf with all layers, etc.

Standard disclaimer: IANAL :-).

(Also this might be better asked on kde-licensing (CC'd), or even 
contact the FSF or SFLC.)
