The Human theme doesn't appear to ship any mimetype icons for Openoffice. The icons seen previously were inherited from gnome-icon-theme, in /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes.

The problem is seen now because Openoffice installs it's own mimetype icons in /usr/share/icons/gnome/*/mimetypes now (with the exception of /usr/share/gnome/scalable/mimetypes), when it didn't do this before. This has the effect of overriding the gnome-icon-theme icons, which I believe is wrong. It also means that gnome-icon-theme now has 2 different icons for these mimetypes, depending on the icon size (scalable has the gnome-icon-theme icon whilst all the others have the OOo one). The Openoffice mimetype icons should go in /usr/share/hicolor, where they will be inherited if no other theme has their own.

The only icons in /usr/share/icons/gnome should be icons that belong to the gnome-icon-theme shouldn't they?
