Most of the python config tools (system-config-*, anaconda) include their own copies of bluecurve icons. It makes sense to me that they should use system icons whenever possible, to match the current theme.
+1 to making it match/use the current theme, but -1 to using generic system icons.
Pulling the individual icons out of the packages and into redhat-artwork (or perhaps system-config-artwork?) is fine, but I still think the distinctiveness of their icons versus the generic control panel icons is a good thing.
The problem is that doesn't actually help - you'd need to do a version of the icon for each theme, which is something I'd like to avoid.
Right now, you boot up a *stock* desktop, and you have the gnome icons (in the GNOME style), the config tool icons (in the bluecurve style), and the puplet icons (in the echo style). That's *ugly*.
A lot of these tools have larger interface issues than non-matching icons, though...
