If Gorilla icons are used, and I click on "new mail" on Evolution, the window that opens up has the same icon as gedit:
/usr/share/icons/Gorilla/scalable/apps/kedit.svg
since the file
/usr/share/icons/Gorilla/scalable/actions/mail-message-new.svg
is byte-by-byte identical to it.

For comparison, of all themes I currently have installed, the only one with this behaviour is Lush (using
/usr/share/icons/Lush/scalable/apps/kedit.svg ) while all the others either provide a different "new mail" icon, or use the gnome fallback.
Both those latter approaches are fine: instead, using the same icon for Evolution new mail window and gedit is particularly annoying, since one cannot distinguish between the two apps through a look at the taskbar.

I'm attaching a proposal for /usr/share/icons/Gorilla/scalable/actions/mail-message-new.svg : while it may not be professional as kedit.svg (mainly, there seems to be a big difference between the svg code generated by Adobe Illustrator and the on generated by Inkscape), I find it totally suits for my needs, and think it would be a valuable addition.

Then, if you like the idea, I can do something similar for Lush.
