I don't know such person.

Great, the wxGUI documentation needs to be definitely updated/improved.

Probably it would be enough to show only icons from default iconset
(i.e., grass2). Probably we could create separate manual page -
wxGUI.Iconthemes.html and list there all icons from available
iconthemes (grass, grass2, silk). Make sense to you?

Yes, most of the text has been taken from tcltk GUI manual page.

Agreed, should not be so much work to implement it (probably could be
reported as wish in trac).
