Ok, I figured as much, and I have to say that most icon themes would 
kill this theme's elegant appearance. However, with the right icon 
theme, blending in nicely, it could work.

I'd support that, since many people became used to and dependent on 
those iconographic elements, at least for key actions you mentioned. 
Then again, I personally would prefer either an icon theme that fully 
covers everything in the menus, or no icons at all.
