OK, cool. I'll try to dig these out.
Anyone know of other general-interest stock icons we should add?

s/several/most/
Good point. We need to think this through.
Possibly the simplest solution is to go back to gtk 1.2's
locale-specific rc files.
For the really common locale issue (RTL vs LTR) there's already
support for just shipping an icon for either direction.

Yep. (Though for the latter, again we need someone to draw them.)
Another thing I just thought of - tigert weren't the current icons
redone with 1-bit alpha in mind? We are displaying them with full
alpha now, if they can be beautified in light of that...
