afaik there is no official way how to revert this "feature", <sarcasm>why 
should one want to remove that must-have icons? user does not need this
option. Welcome to Gnom^wKDE world</sarcasm>

I don't care about new icons if I can opt-out from this feature. That's what I like 
about KDE - higher configurability, unfortunately this does not apply here

Anyway, I should stop complaining (sorry folks, I'm just depressed from the 
"no option" change). There is still hope because you can "turn this off" by removing 
monochromatic icon files. They live here:

/usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default/icons/*.svgz
