The size I have seen is usually 48x48 (for the default gnome theme for
example), which is the same size as the older icon that we were
including with Beagle.

Labyrinth doesn't have any note-like icons (it's a mind-mapping tool),
and neither does EDS (uses standard theme icons). I'm not sure if
using Tomboy's icon is preferable when used to denote all three. Maybe
we can make an exception for notes and include an image for them with
Beagle?
