Summary

The GtkIconTheme support is important for artwork changes (like the ones we have seen in dapper). To make this process as painless as possible all our important apps need IconTheme support.

Rationale

With IconTheme support there is no need to upload a package just because some icon changed, there is a central place to change the look.

Use cases
