On a later build the problem of the switched mirror buttons was solved -- btw, arrow buttons are better than the old triangles separated by a dot line. they are intuitive ..by default -> arrows means directions.
Also rotate with 90 degrees buttons which are arrows too now - are the best options here -> they're so explicit much more than 2 triangles with 90 degrees in between.
Button for creating spirals on toolbar are also a bad choice ( in the 15 May build ) it's hard to read it's icon and message for a newcomer to Inkscape.
Buttons for node operations are also very unintuitive - old blue buttons was better from an usability point of view - they had a better readability.
Regarding the fight between Fancy AND Usable ...Usable should win. Ever.
Thanks for the comments, they'll help me a great deal. I hope to have all Tango-related issues resolved at the end of the weekend. I was slightly out of circuit for the past few days because of a lot of piled up things at school. If there are any unresolved things, I or someone else can revert back to hicolor (it's a matter of changing the SUBDIRS directive in share/icons/Makefile.am, and doing s/tango/hicolor/ on configure.ac).
Now when it comes to the issues outlined on the wiki: 1. Application Overriding System: actually the icons.svg case seems wrong to me. The arrow icons don't look like being pulled from the high-contrast theme. 2. The two other issues: a signal handler for the style-set signal is missing, should be simple to add.
