GPLv2 icon with GPLv3+ program



I know this is a gray area, but I want to know if this list, or gnome
artist, have opinions about GPLv2 icons to GPLv3 programs
compatibility.

The default gnome icon theme is released under GPLv2 (only). With my
GPLv3+ program I want to distribute an icon derived from gnome's
default icon theme: I'm taking insert-object.svg and making object.svg
(a blue box, attached).

I combine the GPLv2 icon with my python program at runtime like so:

pixbuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size(icon_path, size,size)
gtk.icon_theme_add_builtin_icon(icon_name, size, pixbuf)

Now, is it compatible? Is the icon now "linked" to my program, so I
can not use it?

Thank you for any input, or any links to where this specific question
is discussed,
Ulrik
