Hey, thanks. It seems like an improvement on the current icon:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/glom/icons/

I think I'd prefer to emphasis the form (the front-end) rather than the
database (the backend), but I don't think that suggests "database" much
in the existing icon.

I assume you know what .png sizes need to be installed? It's a bit
confusing to me.
