Hi Ricardo, I also think it's fine to just go ahead and close the PR. After thinking about it I came to the realization that it would make more sense to use GTK icons somehow at least instead of Rik. I also had the same thoughts about updating it to at least use at least GTK3 as mentioned in your next email since some of the packages also are not available in all distros anymore for GTK 2. If it supported GTK 3 I believe the icon theme preferences could be controlled with gtk-3.0/settings.ini. I might pick more up with it in the future if no one else does after doing more with libs-dbuskit.
