The GNOME policy is that only the icons of the icon naming
specification [1] will be in gnome icon theme. Apps have to ship there
own icons.

Shall we start with applying this patch? It makes bluez-gnome blend in
better with current desktops and we don't depend on gnome-icon-theme
anymore. There is already a request to remove the stock_bluetooth icon

I'll ask Andreas if he can cook up bluetooth-enabled and
bluetooth-disabled icons
