I think it has to do with the broadness of the spec itself. Correct me
if I'm wrong, but I think Mr. Dawes' icon list shows how a specific
standard could look with icons for all aspects of a desktop system, not
just application/menu icons. I think the reason it seems to theme more
in KDE is because QT is included, while with GNOME the GTK+ themes are
seperate, and I think it would be a good idea to try and combine them
somehow (without making GTK+ need GNOME, of course!)
