Thank you for explaining this.
Handling icons is more complicated in emacs than in anything
else. Maybe some gtk programmers can point out a solution or maybe we
can create a set of universal icons like nvu and openoffice. We can
also publish a guideline of creating icons for emacs so that package
writers can follow. And in the end emacs will have a consistent look!
