I thought that. But the problem is as I stated, the icons are not default windows on a windows machine. they are default gnome, which is on a win desktop a bit confusing. just look at the attached file. I think a perfect thing would be that if an icon is specified in icons.svg file, inkscape will use that icon, and if it isn't specified then use the default wimp theme icon. what about that? The other thing is, many
I don't think is good: it would break theming on Linux or would require 2 versions of icons.svg: one for Linux and another for Windows. Or how about 4 versions? For GNOME, KDE, Windows and OSX. IMO, the best thing is to make the icons in Wimp really fit the Windows desktop, this way not only Inkscape get better on Windows, but other applications using Wimp like Gimp or Gaim.
apps in windows have their custom icons, even the default ones. And when Inkscape will use the tango theme, why not use the tango icons also for the default ones. I think its less confusing when one app has one icon theme than other rather than one app has two icon themes ;) and to solve the problem with unification across platforms, simply ship the win version of inkscape with the modified icons.svg.
If I use Bluecurve or Echo as my theme of choice, why I would want Tango icons for file and clipboard operations?
