By the way, etc/images/README says:

* The default GTK icons were not overridden by the GNOME theme due to
a bug which was fixed in GNOME 2.15. Once GNOME 2.16 is in wide
circulation, the GTK icons should be replaced with the equivalent
GNOME icons.

Does that mean there is some action that was planned but never
performed?  Gnome 2.16 was released in 2006.

Emacs on my macOS machine seems to use the icons from etc/images.  On
GNU/Linux (GTK) there is a different set of icons which arguably look
more "modern".
