It's sad though, that even developers of free software projects seem to think 
that unreported bugs magically fix themselves.

I guess Dan mixed it up with xdg-icon-resource. xdg-desktop-icon is about 
installing/uninstalling "links" on the user's desktop.

Not sure if the problem of unknown size can be fixed or is required, I'll have 
to have a closer look at the icon spec for this.
However I am quite sure that theming isn't a problem, since those unthemed 
icons would be installed into the default theme "hicolor" which is, as far as 
I know, always a fallback lookup if an icon is not found in the currently 
active theme.

Cheers,
Kevin
