Filetype icons: Contact Eazel. I think it's Arlo or Susan or maybe
both who are responsible for those. I don't know whether we should
keep bothering about MC.

Launcher icons: Keep them in line and complete them for 2.0. We should
somewhere set up a table/matrix to keep track of them so we'll have
all of them at all sizes. Martin is setting up a framework in
gnome-libs 2.0 which will enable the loaders to always grab the icon
in the nearest size if several versions exist; icon theming will also
be in the 2.0 libraries.

We need an official icon master. Definitely.
