I have completed converting the Tango icon set made by Jesusda to discrete icons. The only missing icons are in the geometry tool (which doesn't seem to work anyway), but I'll add them shortly. Should I make it the default for Linux?
This would be accomplished by installing the contents of a subdirectory named "tango" to $PREFIX/share/inkscape/icons/hicolor. Windows users would still see the "hicolor" directory, but could rename the tango directory to hicolor and see the Tango icons. Linux users could use the old icons by putting them in ~/.icons/OldInkscape and modifying the index.theme file to inherit from their theme of choice (Human, gnome, etc.). I'm preparing a README with detailed instructions.

As long as there's an easy way to avoid using the braindead Tango icons then fire away, I say.

As long as we stay polite...
Renaming directories doesn't sound like a right solution to me, and users will complain to no end, for sure. Could the switching possibly be done in Interface tab of Preferences dialog?

As long as nobody changes out the icon code from underneath me, I will be able to have that automatically switching to match the user's theme.
I temporarily made the Tango icons default for Linux to get some feedback from our testers on whether they like it more or less. Windows users are not affected.
The switching in the preferences tab is doable, but large directory structure changes would be needed. I'd just like to know how many users would be interested in that first.

Hmm, it seems there was some SVN error and nothing was committed... Maybe that's good though, I have a different idea for theme switching. Instead of changing the search path for the theme, a preference setting can be used together with gtk_icon_theme_set_custom_theme. I'll experiment with this and try to get this bit done before 15 May.

Please wait on that.
As I've mentioned on the list and have discussed with people in our chat room, I have a very simple way to solve that problem.

OK. It would be great if you also said something about your idea here, because Jabber/IRC discussions are not permanent :)

I tried using gtk_icon_theme_set_custom_theme, but it seems it doesn't work like I expected (or at all). So the only choice that remains is to which theme should we default on which platform.

I enabled Tango icons for now, to get some feedback on whether they're better/worse. To get the old icons back, copy the hicolor directory from the source tree (share/icons/hicolor) to ~/.config/Inkscape/icons.

The geometry tool works fine when all LPEs are enabled.

How does one enable all the LPE's?
Is there something I need to do before compiling?

To enable the experimental effects, add the following as the second line of "src/live_effects/effect.cpp":
#define LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS

Just remember, as has been mentioned a few times, once the cleanup of the icon code is finished, those hundreds of discrete files will be moved out of the main distribution (and into a separate module to aid theme authors).
The key point here is that none of the functionality will be removed, in fact even more functionality will be going in. The main takeaway is that instead of removing existing mechanism A to add new mechanism B, we are getting full support for mechanism A, and mechanism B and mechanism C.
The net effect is that Inkscape will start with it's own icons, but *if* a distro adds custom icons, then it will use those. Next, if a system administrator adds application specific icons, then Inkscape will use those instead. And finally if an end user installs icons (either discrete icon files or single icons.svg) in the proper user directory for system wide or application specific icons, then that specific user will see Inkscape use those instead. (details are going up on the wiki this weekend)
Krzysztof had fixed a few of the lingering bugs for SPIcon and for some of the newer GtkIconTheme support, and I'm almost done purging the outdated stock image code and restoring the needed GtkIconTheme theme use.
