Comment 4 for bug 170424

sorry I was not clearer,
the reason that Inkscape does not fit in better for the stock
icons like New/Open/Save is that the icons are all hardcoded.

For inkscape to be able to switch those icons to match the
current theme would require implementing the freedesktop.org
Icon specification. Other applications get this for free but
Inkscape has inherited custom widgets and does not.

Hope that is clearer.
