Hey Lei, replying to your comments:

> However, in Ubuntu 11.10, the default theme is ubuntu-mono-dark, but
all the icons are in the Humanity theme.
in fact themes can be "chained", the ubuntu-mono index.themes indexes
load Humanity,gnome,hicolor so icons in all those directories will be
used

> So how are applications that need mime icons suppose to find them on a
default install of Ubuntu 11.10? All the icons are in the Humanity
folder. Are we expected to look there?

do you use the gtk api for icons lookup? they should just do the right
thing and look into the directories of the other themes listed in
index.themes, which includes "humanity"

Now if you want chromium to just work with any theme you can probably
add a Recommends on gnome-icon-theme-full which will give you the GNOME
icons, those should be only required when using a theme which doesn't
ship its own icons, which is probably the case if you use i.e the GNOME
theme
