I don't know if we can say this.  Only when our Wine-supplied icons are
appearing near application-supplied icons do we gain some consistency by
 mimicing Windows style, but that consistency is confined to that
particular app.  Most icons the user sees are instead going to be
compared with the rest of the desktop and its applications, and adopting
a Tango style rather than a Windows style is the only way to get that
overall consistency.

If we're not careful, Wine apps may continue to stick out rather than be
just another part of the desktop.

Thanks,
