1.) gnome-icon-theme also follows tango guidelines
2.) network manager installs it's current set of icons to hicolor/, and that is where those tango icons should be put instead. This way, all themes can inherit the tango icons. I don't really know why this is not being done upstream, but perhaps RedHat doesn't want those icons in SVN. Anyway, for themes like GNOME, Tango, Tangerine and Human, those icons would be a great improvement.
Wrong!
