Using 'classic' gimp-prefs-icon-theme is not an option. In symbolic icon 
theme it would be nearly identical to 'gimp-duplicate', soon quite 
similar to 'gimp-images' and it alraedy resemples 'gimp-default-colors'.

Using 'same-same but different' makes sense where actions are similar.

What I'm searching is an icon, an idea which is capable to act as 
'symbol for all symbols'. Maybe I'm to stupid or less-educated  (I'm 
aware of symbol, the artist formerly known as prince) but nothing comes 
to my mind here.

My idea to use yin/yang is quite identical to the use of 'Mona-Lisa' 
when it comes to pictures. 'Mona-Lisa' is one the most used pictures in 
the world, and therefore acts as picture for all pictures.
A quick search showed that yin/yang is (except undoubtable religious, 
political ....) one of the most used symbols.

So if somebody has a better idea than using yin/yang: please propose.
