I agree, but I think in the past whenever this was mentioned, the
problem was that it wasn't quite clear for the list audience what the
exact technical requirements for those icons were (including the
cross-platform issues), or perhaps rather that the suggested icon files
weren't sufficiently scalable or something like that.
If somebody could provide pointers to webpages full of free and
technically suitable (gnome) icons, then we would have a basis for a
discussion on which to choose.
We already have quite a few nice svg icons, thanks to Hélio (they're in
CVS for the curious, under the "vectorimages" subdir). However, the
technical issues involved with using SVG instead of the venerable xpm
format we use were outlined in a post by Allin on the devel list a few
months back:
