I spoke with Ted Gould today and he said this was because Pidgin doesn't
follow the Freedesktop.org Icon Naming Spec:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-
latest.html
Pidgin needs to rename the icons it installs to match the names in the
icon-naming-spec. Then, it should use
gtk_icon_theme_append_search_path() to append its directory to the end
of the path (on GTK+ 2.4 and above) to provide the default icons if the
user's theme doesn't define them. Then icons should be loaded with
gtk_icon_theme_lookup_icon() on GTK+ 2.4 and above. (The fallback code
can just load the icons from Pidgin's own directory.)
On the Ubuntu side, once that is done, we'll want to ensure that the
Human theme ships the nice Pidgin icons. ;)
