Hi!
Great stuff, looks great!
Just a quick note about both those submittions. They sport icons from 
tango-icon-theme, not gnome-icon-theme. Both have been drawn using the 
same guidelines, but tango-icon-theme is not included in GNOME. The 
gnome-icon-theme can be found in the gnome cvs. [1]
Btw, gnome-icon-theme is not the only icon set that has a new face, 
check out Crux and Mist in cvs!

1. For those new to cvs (and artists like me who have a hard time 
remembering commands), make sure you have cvs and run:
cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs anoncvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome co gnome-icon-theme
