Personally, I'd rather we ship one set of standard icons. Any variants can be in separate "theme" (ughh) tarballs. At present a user can override any icon by putting one they want with the same name into ~/.lyx/images or icons/ or whatever it's called. An administrator can just untar the icon set over the top of the existing installation to change the icon set for a site. Alternatively just keep each "theme" in a subdir and let the user choose the subdir they want. It is very easy to dynamically build a list of choices from a subdirectory listing after all. Allan.
