Summary: There should be icons in several sizes

Initial Comment:
Currently there's only one program icon (in images/), synfig_icon.png which is 
128x128, much too big for most desktop environment's uses.  It may be scaled 
down of course, but that would lose all of synfig's abilities as a vector 
drawing application.

I propose to create icons of several sizes at compile time and install them 
whereever they are expected.  I think that 24, 32, 48, 64 and 128px should fit 
most needs, but maybe asking the KDE and Gnome people would be a good idea as 
well.  As for the places to install them I can only guess and maybe quote from 
freedesktop.org:

http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html 
says:

"Icons and themes are looked for in a set of directories. By default, apps 
should look in $HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility), in 
$XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and in /usr/share/pixmaps (in that order). 
...
In order to have a place for third party applications to install their icons 
there should always exist a theme called "hicolor".
..."

On my (Gentoo linux) system, the appropriate location seems to be:

$ ls /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
128x128  16x16  192x192  22x22  24x24  32x32  36x36  48x48  64x64  72x72  96x96 
 icon-theme.cache  index.theme  scalable

Oh, and those are probably also the common sizes.

I'll also upload a first try of an svg version of the logo.  It's really hard 
to reproduce the light effects, svg (even in Inkscape) is not really rich in 
layer modes.  Do with it whatever you want, under whichever license you want.
