Based on conversation with the author, and the faq entries cited
below, I do not think Midori will be changed upstream to use only
"stock" GTK icons.
* There are missing icons/ warnings
The set of themed icons Midori can use is very limited. For
instance icons for a new tab or the throbber are not guaranteed to
be available. To fix this, install a Freedesktop.org spec
compliant icon theme, such as Tango or Gnome, or one that is
compatible with these.
* Tweaking Midori on the Gtk level
If you don't have a desktop application that takes care of Gtk
settings or if your interface doesn't support a particular
feature, you can modify any settings easily manually by specifying
them in a text file called ~/.gtkrc-2.0 or /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:
Use Tango as a fallback for your icon theme:
gtk-icon-theme = "MySuperFancyTheme"
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = "Tango"
-- http://wiki.xfce.org/midori_faq
Therefore I will add document this state of affairs in README.Debian
and add the following header to debian/control:
Recommends: gnome-icon-theme
This seems to be in line with what other packages currently do
(e.g. galeon).
I am choosing not to include a whole bunch of alternatives in the
Recommendation because I don't want to have to keep that list of
alternatives accurate.
