I think it was you who suggested it on IRC, there is already a "Page
Setup" item included in my list.  Note I'm talking about Stock Items more
than just stock _icons_ because I believe there will be things like Status
Bar that deserve a stock item but have no need for an icon.

I think abiword has an icon for page setup, with a picture of a page and
printer on it (but I dont have abiword on this machine so I'm not sure).

I've changed the subject line to start a new thread for this specific
item.  Glad to see there is interest in the idea.
