I had already noticed this discrepancy in our code. We are actually
requesting for a GTK_ICON_SIZE_BUTTON which is 20x20 in GTK+2
(interestingly in GTK+3, it is a 16x16). Yet the icons in the legacy
color icon theme are 22x22 (not 24x24); and since the default
acceptable "threshold" is 2 pixels, when requesting a 24x24 icons,
GTK+ gets the available 22x22 tool icons instead.

I'm not sure icons are actually re-scaled though. I think GTK+ simply
uses the smaller 22x22 icons as is, instead of the expected 24x24,
that's all. Not trying forcingly to match expectations. Though I
actually wondered as well, since if they were in fact rescaled, that
basically means our default theme had been providing definitely
not-pixel-perfect all along.
