Yeah, I thought that might be a problem. I suggest doing one of these things:

1. Keep the icons hardcoded but either to the default icon theme, or to the official ooo/lo icons.
2. Have the thumbnailer only do the thumbnailing - the document icon can be automatically added as an emblem by nautilus. Nautilus automatically pulls the icons from the theme correctly, and refreshes them when the theme changes. However, this has to be done in Nautilus, not ooo-thumbnailer. The good thing is that this could be extended to other kinds of documents, say PDF files or even images.

1. is the easy way, while 2. is more complicated, and might require help and/or approval of the Nautilus devs. I'd personally prefer the second one, I can offer my (somewhat limited) skills.
