I actually was going to switch to use system icons by default when I added SVG support, but I discovered it's not possible to have a stock icon to represent each of the icons we need. If you look at linuxdcpp with system icons turned on, you will see that some of the icons don't match exactly what they represent. You can read Gnome HIG and see that this is frowned upon. Also, I would like to add icons to represent a hub, private message and share browser but there is nothing even remotely close to match those in GTK+ stock icons. If we expand icons to include Gnome stock icons then we might find some, but we don't want to make linuxdcpp a gnome application. It is a GTK+ application.

I did add the themeable icon support at the same time I added SVG support, so people can always add their own themed icon by placing it in the proper directory. But besides that, not sure what to do here unless there is some magical set of icons I can use with any OS/desktop environment that I am unaware of.
