Using BlueCurve icons as default in OOo is (IMO) not a god idea because: 
development of Bluecurve practically ceased, the theme is in maintenance 
mode and the Bluecurve set for OOo is incomplete, with very large gaps 
(untouched from the OOo 1.1.x era).

I think a better short-term solution for Fedora 7 is to make the default 
  icon set "Industrial" with large icons (this theme is included in the 
package).

Caolan, I don't understand why you say redhat-artwork or gnome-themes 
could be tweaked to use the BlueCurve icons for OOo apps, OOo does not 
use the Gnome theming for icons, it has its own settings, which are 
controlled from the inside the application (or by the packager).
All the themes are in share/config as .zip files and the setting to 
config the default in registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu
