I'm confused; does Balsa expect to get all its icons from Bluecurve?  If  
not, the solution is either to use "standard" stock icons (which Bluecurve  
should know about) and/or to communicate to the Bluecurve devs that they  
have some icons missing.

I know from my contributions to Lila that missing icons are the bulk of the  
work and that, when most programs demand whichever icons they please, we  
answer with more icons.  (I'm not sure what the freedesktop people would  
have to say about this--it doesn't seem like the best idea simply to add  
icons upon icons for program after program.  I'm just speaking from the  
perspective of a themer.)

Sorry if I missed the point of your post, Peter,
