Again, they are not a result of the artwork but the code elsewhere.
Plainly stated in the bug reports. I one saw a bad svg icon crash
nautilus in the lila-brown theme. It was the fault of Inkscape and svg
libs, not the artist using the app and the libs.

In the case of the icon sizes in tabs. Same thing. Those of use that
have made icons for gnome know a simple small X does the trick to
getting around bad gtk code. An outsider wouldn't know this.

I've said it many times, if the icon themers would make everything
'Scalable' instead of 'Fixed' in the index.theme file, menus wouldn't
get wacked out either. Whether or not that is bad code, I'm not sure,
but it is certainly unnecessary on the themers part. 'Fixed' has no real
purpose.
