What is standard to most GTK apps? There is something luring about using SVG icons since we are the SVG app, right? Also, by supporting SVG, that would that allow green-developers to quickly add icons for our app.
I know its more work, but SVGs sound like the proper way to go. Looks like gnome is moving that way as well with their entire interface to be svg rendered on-screen, as well as icons.
Otherwise, what would someone do to create an icon. Add it to icons.svg, then export it as a png, and then convert it to an XBM file?
It might be nice to get some of these new icons designed for our next release.

I agree with the SVG icons thing.
What would be really cool is to have code that would render an svg object (from a file) into an image that we could add to inkscape's Stock. I hacked this together once by moving code from SPIcon over to inkscape_stock with a few modifications. I didn't comit it because it looked ugly and I didn't understand it at all. That, or it didn't work... I can't remember. :/
