which is why themes must simply provide a zoom-fit at minimum. the fallbacks 
are not there to replace proper themes, otherwise it would be possible to 
create a usable theme with a dozen or so icons ;)

the fallbacks are there for where it makes sense and the mechanism is defined 
in a generic way (as opposed to explicit per-use-case fallback paths) so that 
the solution can be used wherever it may make sense now and in the future.

so i don't think it matters much to try and prevent zoom-fit-* missing from 
falling back to zoom: that's exactly what ought to happen, though icon themes 
that let that happen can only be described as incomplete.

can you give some examples of the misuse?
