Thank you! Thank you SO much for working on this. A few people on this list don't seem very impressed by Tango, but personally I'd never want to go back - ever; to the point that I was thinking of pushing some changes: e.g. for the erase tool myself.
Just a thought for you/anyone:
I'm the GUI maintainer for Lumiera, and we're generating our icons from SVGs. Each icon has to be specially adopted for each of the standard small sizes. We've adopted the "one canvas" icon workflow that Tango artists seem to be working toward. This is a video demonstrating the technique: http://blip.tv/file/1075329
Basically it involves drawing a basic icon, then tweaking it so that it looks good for different sizes. The SVG file is then "rigged" by putting in invisible bounding boxes marked with XML metadata (this can all be done in inkscape). We then have a python script* that then at compile time walks through the SVG, rendering all bounding boxes that it finds marked with the metadata.
If you wanted
Here's an example of one of our SVGs: http://www.lumiera.org/gitweb?p=lumiera/joel;a=blob_plain;f=icons/svg/tool-a...
As you can see, the icon has been tweaked to look good at 48x48, 32x32, 22x22 (24x24 is also produced from this size), and 16x16. The "One Canvas Workflow" makes it very easy to make consistent changes instead of having to keep hundreds of different files in synch.
This is quite a break from the way icons are handled in inkscape right now, but I wondered if it might give anyone new ideas.
God bless Joel

Hello!
I'm working hard to complete and bug-free the tango icon theme for Inkscape.
Some bugs are solved, new icons are added and some old icons are retouched.
Now I'm working to finish it, but some bugs are depending to the way the icons are show on toolbars and may be solved. ;)
Please, report me the bugs and ideas you have to this work.
Thanks! ;)
