I remember how annoyed I was when I installed an early beta of Lotus
Symphony and it replaced all my OOo desktop icons with the horribly garish
IBM ones.

As ODF becomes established, users may well have multiple ODF supporting
applications on their desktops. So IMHO having all those applications
sharing a standard set of desktop icons is not terribly useful. Users need
to know what application will start when they click an icon.
