Email from Clement:

"The easy part first:
https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-x-icons/commit/c6d65dc95271e1b45193e4765c0b7c712a42bf0e

This is going in Linux Mint 14 and it should get backported (after some
testing) in LMDE and Mint 13.

MATE should be doing the same in their icon theme (1.6 onward).

You should contact the Faenza author to get this changed upstream. "

Cheers
Lex
