Christoph you can also get them from the source at

http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/graphics/trunk/toolbar-icons/24x24/

Note that QGIS has more than one icon theme - if you really want your
stuff to integrate nicely you should make your code theming aware. For
plugins there is an example of how to do that in e.g.
src/plugins/copyright_label/plugin.cpp for references to
'setCurrentTheme'. The aforementioned example has its theme icons in
the core qgis icon collection, but you can also store your different
them icons in the resource file (e.g.
src/plugins/copyright_label/copyright_plugin.qrc) and then use a
relative path into that qrc file to pick up the correct icon for the
current theme. The grass plugin and its qrc are probably the best
example of how this is done.

Its not been agreed yet, but in the run up to QGIS 2.0 we may drop
some of the alternate themes and just ship with GIS theme.

Tim
