We should make one of the icon themes part of the platform. In particular, gtk+ depends on hicolor, but that fact is not listed in our jhbuild moduleset. Two questions: 1. Can we get this mess fixed (either by fixing apps, or by providing fallbacks/symlinks/whatever) before the 2.14 release? 2. As soon as 2.14 is released, can gnome-icon-theme commit to the same ABI stability rules as the rest of the platform? Icon names *are* part of the ABI, since that's what apps use.
