What you should do is take one of the simplest Gnome Themes and start a
new theme with this icons you got.
Make sure you copy the icons in the directories that have the right
dimensions and give them the same names. That's all there is to it.
Now, that can easily take you a whole day (or longer) to setup ;-)
If you want a point to start, get this theme and use it as a reference:
http://www.latinomixed.com/downloads/debian-embelisher/gtk-
themes/GnoMetal2-2.11.tar.bz2
That's a MacOS-like theme that I use some times (until i get tired of
all the gray stuff in the screen and switch to Nuvola for some
blue ;-)).
The theme has a Perl script for installing the icons in the right place
(s).
