Hi Martin,

  Sure. I will send the final XCF's to you.

  Hmm... I was kind of keeping to the same design Tackat used with KDE MIME 
icons (i.e. a neutral object [sheet of paper in KDE] and place something 
unique on top). I can change this if you want, but it might start to be too 
colorful.

keeping them detailed in larger sizes (like 32x32).

  Hmm, is there something in particular that is wrong with it? Perhaps I'd be 
happy to make changes to it if you'd like.

  Thanks. :-)

   I can probably spend some more time Saturday working on them... would that 
be soon enough?
