Hi Leonardo --

I've merged your changes to the icon editor. Thanks!

Re the brush editor: looks promising; let's discuss:

I notice your buttons don't have icons, possibly due to the GTK
setting. Your patch makes the icon preview image non-square when icons
are enabled for GTK, but that can be fixed (GtkAspectFrame ftw.)

Fully agree with putting the Rename and Edit Icon buttons on the top
row, near the name and the icon (!). Do you think we could make the
icon and the name clickable in some way, or would that make the editor
window less obvious to casual users?

I think Save should be on the bottom right for RTL layout, not on the
bottom left. There's a good reason for this: I'm trying to implement a
diagonal flow to the editor
http://designinginterfaces.com/firstedition/index.php?page=Diagonal_Balance
(which the later edition expanded a bit) with the "what am I doing?"
reminder information at the top left, and the "I'm done now!" final
action buttons at the bottom right. Following the flow of reading for
RTL languages - and GTK+ will flip the layout for LTR languages, so it
works for them too :-)

Yes, we should move Delete away from Edit Icon and/or Save. What about

* Delete: bottom right
* Rename and Edit Icon: integrate with the icon preview and the name label.
 - Make the icon a normal-looking button, and the name "label" a
rollover button, maybe...
* Save: Bottom right
* Copy to New: bottom right, near Save
* Live Update: top right?

Arguably "Copy as New" is a starting point as well as a finishing
point... :/ I like the idea of having it as a nearby alternative to
"Save", however, because "Save" overwrites the existing brush and is
arguably a destructive action.
