Comment 20 for bug 312993

Wanted to try the two sets: placed each file under /share/icons, renamed to 'icons.svg' and both gave me no icons (see the attached image). Then I renamed the file 'tango_icons.svg' shipped with SVN and still no icons.
Is what I did the right way to apply a new icons set or should I do something different? It worked before the 'Hicolor theme missing' issue (see bug #333263).

And, by the way, just to say my opinion (you are free to ignore it if you don't care) I prefer the default theme over Tango because simpler (i.e. less coloured, flat, more simbolic) icons leave the workspace clean and help focusing on your work. Of course this is strictly related to your whole desktop's style so it's impossible to take a decision, it's a matter of who you want to impress with Inkscape first-run. I usually stay away from too much coloured applications because they tend to hide lack of functionality under an appealing interface (that's exactly the opposite of what Inkscape does). On the other hand I appreciate a lot the possibility of personalizing the appearence because this is a hint on the attention that programmers give toward their (potential) users.

Thanks.
