Re: [Usability] GNOME default icons

Also, there are a dazzling number of icon and desktop themes on the
GNOME site, but none are branded "Default" so I could check for
myself. What is the URL to the current default set of icons?

The default stock icons in GNOME are provided by gnome-icon-theme:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-icon-theme/

which are installed into the 'gnome' icon theme ($DATADIR/share/icons/ gnome). Some icons also used to be installed into $DATADIR/share/ icons/hicolor, but IIRC that's no longer the case with recent builds.

These icons may of course be over-ridden by any other theme that your distro specifies, but in a vanilla community build those are the ones that you should see by default. (The default gtk theme in community GNOME builds is called Clearlooks, but it doesn't install any icons of its own.)
