not changing.

1. breaks default behavior of an icon object. since icons come from theme an
app dev can customize by doing a theme overlay and thus expect his icons to
appear - but if default behavior changes then his app loses HIS icons. this
is a break. no. not changing.
2. the point is to have icons match the THEME... not some fdo icon theme. icons
will almost always look out of place in a theme being different style/color
etc. etc. and so people are eternally hunting for a "matching icon theme"
separately to their theme. the whole POINT of an edj file is to have a single
unified theme with everything - widgets and wm and icons etc. your point
violates this entire concept.
