Thanks!

Yes, in-fact I am building a stand-alone application that does not  
even need an installer - you just drag the icon where you want and  
double-click it to start using it...

Interesting. When I set 'XDG_DATA_DIRS' to my share directory I get  
no errors, and if I set it to anything else I get the hicolor message:

(evolution-2.10:18670): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon  
'stock_mail'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
        http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

I have in my share/icons dir:

drwxr-xr-x   10 jeshua  jeshua   340 Apr 24 01:25 gnome
drwxr-xr-x   16 jeshua  jeshua   544 Jun  6 02:23 hicolor

And in my share/themes dir I have:

drwxr-xr-x   4 jeshua  jeshua  136 Jun  2 21:57 Default
drwxr-xr-x   3 jeshua  jeshua  102 Jun  2 21:57 Emacs
drwxr-xr-x   3 jeshua  jeshua  102 Jun  2 21:57 Raleigh


I guess I will try installing the 'gnome-theme-manager' next...
