From http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html "Implementations are required to look in the "hicolor" theme if an icon was not found in the current theme." Which suggests that there should be a fallback mechanism, but given the gcalctool example, it doesn't seem to be implemented?
