That would be really helpful. I've been working on my artistic skills a little, but I would admit a strong prejudice towards using freely available stuff where possible, as my ability to draw is easily matched by most two year olds.
The nice thing is, the most useful map elements could be drawn by a two year old! They are simple things like a tree, a hill or a house viewed from the top.
Also, if we have such a clip art library, is there any way we can add our own toolbars in inkscape such that we can add common or repeating elements quickly without copying and pasting?
For locally available images (like my own clipart) I prefer to use the file manager (Nautilus) which automatically show thumbnails, keep a window opened with my files and drag when I need inside Inkscape.
To import from openclipart.org, the development version has a nice feature: open a window, type some keyword and it will instantly search OCAL. Select from the list, a thumbnail is shown and if you like it, press the button and the file is imported.

We can start an initiative to collect a large (as large as possible) number of objects at the Open Clip Art Library.
