Tango svg icons in KDE not correct

Question

How do i fix this. I use the Tango icon set (in kde 3.5.3) because the icons are easy to recognize, especially at 16x16.
if you look at this:

i enlarged the icons for the purpose of this post. In the screenshot, the window below konqueror is Thunar (a gtk2 app). In konqueror and the rest of kde, svg Tango icons are rendered incorectly, it seems with only a limited color palette. If you notice the gradients and shadows are abrupt, not smooth. But in gtk2 apps tango looks fine.
(although at the small sizes tango icons look fine in kde because they're in PNG format).
ps. im using the tango package in the repos.

ah ok, I had the same problem as well and just started using the  sparkling iconset instead. For the number of times I use kde apps it's not to bad.
