Comment 8 for bug 61176

Travis: With Human already depending on Tangerine and therefore Tango, I don't see why theming applications currently using old gnome-icon-theme stylings would harm the distinctive look-and-feel of Ubuntu vis a vis the Human theme.

Ideally GIMP, Gaim, OpenOffice and so on could be themed with Human icons instead, but seeing as they don't exist for most of these applications it would be better to use icons that are at least somewhat consistent with the rest of the theme.
