The icon specification provides for things like fall back icons and for

default set of icons that the theme can override.  Sure, in those cases
GIMP and Inkscape wouldn't match, but that's no worse than we have
today.

But what we have *today* is Inkscape *always* using its default theme :)


No.

If external icons with the given names are present in the directory set, then those will override the internal ones.
