It's still mentioned in the theme spec, but I also believe technically
the desktop enviroments following the xdg specs look for the hicolor
fallback theme, and thus find icons there.

Now you might encounter issues if you only ship a single resolution
file and the user setup does not use that exact resolution. I'm also
not sure what the default is for contempory desktop environments.

If someone has more information on that topic I'd be also interested
to here it. For vym I currently ship only a 48x48 png icon in the
hicolor theme.
