If apps provide actual (i.e. generic) HiColor icons (the Gnome theme is 
also generic so it would be OK) they could simply be installed as 
HiColor like OpenOffice currently does.

The only problem with that is, as I brought up in another posting, what 
happens if more than one DeskTop installs the same HiColor MIME type 
icons?  You need them all available as the same fallback theme, but you 
don't want them overwriting each other on install either.
