Achim, thank you for the feedbacks.

As you can see it in the "origine_of_the_icons" file, there are currently four 
icons which contains Tango theme components (autocorrection.png, 
despeckle.png, imagecomment.png and infrared.png). 

I will rework them to remove all references to Tango and you will not be 
annoyed any more by the licence of Tango. :-)
