Ah, OK. In this case it might make sense to do an upstream patch to
copy these icons to tango, as we already did for a lot of other icons
that were copied to tango from galaxy (see tdf#118123).

The desktop detection code you cited is about defining the *preferred*
icon theme, not about "fallback" - which means what to do when the
requested theme isn't found. The fallback for a complete icon theme (as
opposed to an individual icon) is done like this:

/*static*/ OUString
IconThemeSelector::ReturnFallback(const std::vector<IconThemeInfo>&
installedThemes)
{
    if (!installedThemes.empty()) {
        return installedThemes.front().GetThemeId();
    }
    else {
        return FALLBACK_ICON_THEME_ID;
    }
}

... which means that it will return the first found theme, which might
or might not be tango. Imagine a case of a user running gnome or kde
(which have other defined themes in
IconThemeSelector::GetIconThemeForDesktopEnvironment), while having
only tango and colibre. It will get through the above code, and might
pick colibre as well, which is not what you want.
