You appear to have missed something.  I have made BOTH CrystalSVG and 
HiColor icons for these new icons.  So, I fail to see your point.  And, 
what are those icons themes in KDEArtWork?

That has nothing to do with what I said which was that GNOME ships a 
HiColor icon theme:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.14/2.14.1/sources/gnome-icon-theme-2.14.2.tar.bz2

To correct what you said.  The GNOME package does not include the 
"index.theme" file but rather requires that you install:

http://freedesktop.org/software/icon-theme/releases/hicolor-icon-theme-0.5.tar.gz

KDE has an "index.theme" file for HiColor in the KDELibs package.  IIRC, 
it was modified slightly although I can't remember exactly how or why.
