Yes, I'm talking about OOo 1.9x icons. The bluecurve icons are good and an
excellent choice for business. However, regardless of your opinion, I prefer
Sun's icons. Frankly, they will be far more familiar and friendlier to newbies
and desktop users transferring from one a windows environment especially if the
company properly transitions to the necessary open source apps prior to any
linux desktop migration.

That's your opinion and if you want one, you probably won't have to wait long.
Bluecurve is one of the only themes to include their own personal icons for OOo
apps and I'm sure the database app will be added for RHEL 4 if for no other purpose.

Moreover, the lack of "red hat" logos and icons is the purposeful and the final
(visual) step in accomplishing the mission of fedora to be as close to upstream
as possible. Therefore, the default GNOME theme is being used as default. If you
want the the Bluecurve theme, just choose it from the theme app located in the
preferences menu or download it from the gnome site, your choice. Don't expect
them to go back now that they've finally transitioned away from corporate logos,
icons, etc.
