I agree with Ray that we should wait for GNOME to adopt it.  Tango is
relatively new, and most GNOME apps don't have icons that have been
tangoized.  Due to the different color palettes (which I have to admit
that I hate) used, they stick out horribly and don't provide a very
unified look.  If there is a demand for Tango, maybe it should be
submitted to FE.
