Anyway with all the talk of people wanting new icons why not simply add a new setting in the preferences to specify which file/icon set to use.... that way people who want the another icon set could use an alternative.....others would use the current one....simple....

It's being discussed on the dev mailing list

There isn't a GUI for it, but you can already swap in your own icon set if you wish. The development version is distributed with the original set and the tango set. You just need to rename the one you want to use.

There's ongoing debate on the mail list as to the best approach to this, as a gtk app we should pickthe theme up from gtk rather than doing it ourself, but then on win this is moran obvious way to go so the pref approach may be better...
Anyways the people involved are deciding what to code, I'd expect it in 0.47

They certainly seem to set a cracking pace... I look forward to seeing what they roll-out in .47
