I have a long living idea in my TODO list about icons: reuse/extend/contribute a prepackaged set of icons. OpenStreetMap project provides such a set: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Icons And they are already packaged (at least for Debian): http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=openstreetmap&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all A sister project already use these icons: GPSDrive.
