It did, kind of....  With your example file, the resultant file I (as a  
themer) need to create is balsa_info_encr.{xpm|png|don't-forget-svg}.   
That's how I created the files, in a one-for-one manner from those in / 
path/to/balsa/tarball/src/pixmaps.  At that point, the GTK theme I'm using  
recognises the names of the icons (I typed them in manually :) and they  
should be picked up.  Again, after doing that, only some of them are.  What  
am I missing?

Said another way: I only vaguely understand what your message means for me  
from a themer's point of view, and any decoding would be helpful. :)

Thanks,
