Is there any good reason to use a one-file-svg to store Inkscape icons?
Wouldn't it just be much easier to use a directory to hold the icons?
Several good reasons for a single file:
1) This one file fixes one of our big problems: maintaining the path to icon resources. having a single file for Inkscape icons is analogous to caching them at startup. We get the SVG equivalent of GtkIconFactory for free.
2) "Theming" could be trivial. Just use another file.
3) Also, the file is self-documenting. We can annotate the icons ON THE PAGE ITSELF, and just add the file to our docs.
