For example, some themes use bigger icons.  But since the stock item 
gtk-directory isn't available, the standard icon distributed with emacs is 
used, so it looks odd.  Also, if some theme has some visual property (like 
high contrast), the diropen icon will not follow this theme.

I've attached some screenshots of these situations.  I think before we
release this we need to find stock items for everything.  In Info mode there 
are also icons that don't have any stock definition, so arrows may look 
differently.
