heh, I'd look at it another way: you don't need icons, you need an interface designer to spend a couple of hours making it look good. My graphics guy goes through all my admin back ends and spends a couple of hours messing with the css, placing the buttons and adding icons, and making interface suggestions. The ones that he's done look and feel about 1000% better than anything I could do - and I'm pretty handy with css.
