Hi Vincent and Alex,

You are absolutely right. It's already time to prepare map icons for 
QGIS and other applications.

Upcoming hackfest in Wroclaw will be god time to discuss (complete? ;)) 
this task.

Please send your proposals and ideas to this ML or OSGeo graphics ML. 
Just use word 'icon' in mail theme.
regards,
Robert
