Yes, it is possible. The problem is that we do not have enough manpower to work on this. Future versions of upstream OOo are likely to be easier to do the switching by including some sort of themeing support, so it doesn't make a lot of sense for us to spend time on themeing just for the Debian packages when it will be done in a more general way in future versions. > With all the respect for gnome users, I prefer original theme.

It depends whether you are able to make changes to packaging. You would need to remove the parts of debian/rules that replace the original icons with the Ximian version. Sorry, Chris
