Right, so in the end i decided to use the Faenza icon theme as a base (with a few additions of my own). This theme contains mostly monochrome icons for toolbar actions. It looks good on mac and should do on ubuntu too - in fact many people are using Faenza already as their theme.
So here's a screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6613592/spydlib.png To get this to work I also had to make a few changes to the code, so getting this isn't just a question of copy-pasting folders. I changed a bunch of image names to better match gnome/freedesktop conventions, which should make swapping icons easier in the future.
