Hello, I think LibreOffice is a great endeavour and I commend what the Document Foundation is doing. I'm sorry if this is the wrong channel to relay my wishes to, but I just wanted to suggest that maybe you could change the code so that LibreOffice inherits GTK / KDE icons? That would make theming much easier. Thank you for your work.
