True :-)

They change as GTK+ looks in some paths (I suppose defined in the theme) 
to replace
the original icons for the theme icons. However not all themes use that 
feature.

It is a GTK+ feature: All themes for GTK+ are pure GTK+, not GNOME. In fact
the GNOME project is moving all the graphic features to GTK+ (Almost all 
GNOME
widgets are deprecated). It is the modular conceptof GNOME: graphics: 
GTK+ , xml: libxml,
process communication: dbus, and so on...

OK!
