This is actually fairly painful for distros.  All of a sudden, you
have to lock step gnome-themes and your application packages.

And usually, the distros don't deal with this, which means that the
user tries to update a package and gets a file conflict.  Or
alternatively, they update gnome-themes and now they have no high
constrast icons.

Unfortunately, I don't have a better solution, so this may be how we
have to do things.  Just keep in mind that it's not that painless.
