+The Tango Icon Theme is a desktop environment independent set of icons 
+following the new icon name specification.
+
+In order to build the package you need the XML::Simple perl module
+and icon-naming-utils, both of which are available from SlackBuilds.org
+Also, be sure you have all of the latest packages from /patches on
+the Slackware mirror installed, especially gnome-icon-theme.
+
+For XFce, it should work as is: (Settings Manager -> User Interface). 
+Note that Xfce's Rodent icon theme inherits Tango icons by default, so some 
+of your icons (the ones that are currently falling back to the hicolor theme)
+will change to the Tango theme simply by installing it.
+
+GNOME and KDE users need to do some changes.
+
+To change the default GNOME icon theme execute:
+
+  gconftool-2 --direct --config-source \
+  xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type string \
+  --set /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme Tango
+
+To change a user specific GNOME icon theme execute:
+
+  gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme Tango
+
+KDE users need to perform further steps. 
+First, edit /usr/share/icons/Tango/index.theme:
+
+  sed -i "s/Context=\w*/Context=FileSystems/g" index.theme
+
+and place a symlink to Tango either in your user specific or KDE's default 
+location (see /opt/kde/bin/kde-config --path icon).  You should then be able 
+to select the icon theme from within the control center.
+
+KDE users will get slightly better looking icons if they add the option
+  --enable-png-creation
+to the configure part of the SlackBuild.
+
+If you are not using any settings manager (fluxbox,blackbox...), you can add 
+the following to your .gtkrc-2.0 (create it if it does not exist).
+
+  gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"
