The main reason is that I need the icons in discrete format (one icon per

programatically is not currently possible because some aspects of Inkscape's

CLI aren't working right. Look at

http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Themable_icons - those are the icon

names that are needed.



Actually going to the discrete icons have caused many problems, including incompatibility with various linux distros.

So that specific change is being backed out.

However, the mechanism to load from a theme under "hicolor" somewhere is good code, and will be left in. That means that Inkscape can ship with it's mainly single icon source, but will use any user-installed or distro installed theme icons over the built-in defaults.
