Plus, is there really much of a need for themeability of Inkscape? In fact it kinda doesn't make usability sense to change the known icons on the fly.
While I understand the idea behind splitting these files into individual ones, and fully support that plan for moving Inkscape to themeability, I must say that I still feel the best course of action is to add icons where not present, and then convert any non-svg (xpms) into icons.svg.
Please help me out on this one! After this task is done, then we should look into some of that reorganization.

Is there any good reason to use a one-file-svg to store Inkscape icons?
Wouldn't it just be much easier to use a directory to hold the icons?
Several good reasons for a single file:
- This one file fixes one of our
big problems: maintaining the path to icon resources. having a single file for Inkscape icons is analogous to caching them at startup. We get the SVG equivalent of GtkIconFactory for free.
"Theming" could be trivial. Just use another file.
Also, the file is self-documenting. We can
annotate the icons ON THE PAGE ITSELF, and just add the file to our docs.
