admittedly i don't like them at all either. they look like they've been
'burned' - as though made of burnt paper - and appear to have been made
by simply dragging the gradient tool over the shape of the icon. 

finally they stand out far too much, far too 'in-your-face' to be icons
i could live with.

that said, why not post them to gnome-look and get some feedback from
users? maybe they'll be a hit.

cheers,
