Speaking of icons.svg, I have noticed something that maybe one of the users could help with, if this is OK with Bryce.
Currently, icons.svg is rather unorganized. It would be really great if someone could organize and arrange the icons according to their use. And annotated, too. Like if the file were arranged like this, visually:
Toolbox icons, 20x20 [icon] [icon] [icon] text-tool curve-tool freehand-tool
Menu icons, 24x24 [icon] [icon] [icon] import-into file_export print-direct
....etc....
The only restrictions are that the icons should not be resized, that they must remain top-level <g> members of the svg tree, and that they retain their proper names.
Would be possible (or even a good idea) to have some way of simply allowing the group id to be shown directly in the document?
This would save adding lots of text descriptions as the icons are all already nicely labelled.

It is possible that adding extra text and other unused objects could slow down the parsing of the icons. It could be negligable, I don't know, but people do like their applications to start as fast as possible.
The file could still be organized into a logical order though and I could take this task.
