You seemed confused why hicolor is searched. It's normal for it to be
searched as a fallback.

I'd put a print statement inside the for loop near that if statement that
prints the theme name, e.g.

    g_print ("searching theme %s\n", theme->name);

It sounds to me like the gnome icon theme isn't being properly added. Maybe
also put lots of print statements in insert_theme. Is that being called
with "gnome" as a theme name? Is it bailing out at some point before it's
supposed to?
