[ubuntu-art] A call for icons: gnome-accessibility-theme

Hi,

There is a set of four high contrast themes for gnome which seem pretty 
effective, but the icon sets are incomplete which makes everything 
rather untidy. To see what I mean install the package 
gnome-accessibility-themes and select one of the high contrast themes. 
You will see that some menu entries and applications are fairly 
complete, while others only partially so. This image shows openoffice, 
which is the worst offender not using any high contrast icons at all, 
behind gedit which is complete:

I've filed a bug on openoffice since it seems not to know about the 
existing high contrast icons:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org2-amd64/+bug/27191

but the icon set itself is limited too. It might actually be that most 
of the gaps can be filled by setting suitable symlinks to existing icons 
(like making the firefox icon point at gnome-globe.png)

Does someone want to chart this set against the list at 
http://daniel.holba.ch/ubuntu/ic/ and see what can be done to make it 
more complete (or appear more complete)?

- Henrik
