[Qgis-developer] Last minute icon updates for 0.9.2rc1

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Many thanks for the various feedback - its greatly appreciated. I
will commit these but in the course of today make some tweaks to try
to take your various suggestions into account:

 - the toggle overview 'stop sign' is a mistake - Ill fix that
 - try to make the grass ones higher contrast
 - switch the (-) mini icons to (x)


Regards

Tim
