Slightly offtopic:
You suggest to remove a lots of icons. But i think a good desktop needs some
icons that are unused so the user has a set of icons for custom thinks or
applications that don't come with an icon. I with a good set of generally usable
icons the desktop feels easyer to customize, because the user doesn't need a
drawing program.

Just see all the icons windows ships (for advanced users) in moreicons.dll
progman.exe and co.

So please keep some unused icon around or even add a few general purpose icons.
